On October 19, 2024, WPI-IRCN (International Research Center for Neurointelligence) participated in the University of Tokyo Homecoming Day with a booth along the iconic Ginkgo tree-lined avenue. The event was a great success, attracting many visitors throughout the day.
At the booth, we displayed some of the exhibition titled "Advancing ″neurointelligence″ Brain Observers and Creators," which was originally part of the Visionary Lab's exhibition at the Miraikan Museum in 2021, and later displayed at the Komaba Museum in 2022. This exhibition offered visitors a glimpse into the cutting-edge fusion research between brain research and AI research, allowing them to experience firsthand the innovative approaches and insights of researchers.
Additionally, many visitors had the opportunity to try out the ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) Simulator, which reproduces the vision of individuals with ASD. We received feedback such as, "I was able to experience a perspective I wasn’t aware of, and it deepened my desire to better understand ASD."
This year’s Homecoming Day proved to be a valuable opportunity to highlight the IRCN’s research and initiatives, offering visitors a glimpse into the world of "neurointelligence".
