How do human and machine intelligence arise? The International Research Center for Neurointelligence (IRCN) at The University of Tokyo was launched in October 2017 to tackle this challenge over the next ten years under the World Premier International (WPI) Research Initiative of Japan. IRCN researchers will understand emergent principles of neural circuit development to inspire next-generation neural computation for artificial intelligence and novel therapies for mental illness.

Yukie Nagai lab at IRCN investigates the mechanisms underlying human cognitive development and disorders through computational approaches.
We develop computational neural networks inspired by the human brain and examine what mechanisms enable the networks to acquire human-like intelligence. For more information, please visit our lab homepage at https://developmental-robotics.jp/en/.
We are currently seeking Project Academic Specialist to support the following projects:
CREST “Cognitive Feelings that Mediate Between Perception and Emotion” (PI: Yukie Nagai, Period: Oct 2021 - Mar 2027)
