Human brain science for the future
Super aging society, increasing disasters, and ‘smart’ society to come; how do these environmental and social changes affect our lives and values? From the perspective of cognition and brain science, we aim to make proposals on the future of human life, technology and society.

There seem to exist irrational human mind behind various social issues, including problematic behaviors such as bullying and crime, embarrassment of changes in values due to changes in social structure and aging, and difficulty in making social decisions on important issues such as environment, energy, and disasters. Brain science is expected to contribute to understanding and solving this problem, but it is not easy. At this symposium, social cognitive neuroscientists shared and discussed attempts to meet their expectations and academic issues that emerge from such attempts.
