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.

The experience or personality trait of self-transcendence has two aspects: a sensory-motor experience of expanding self-boundaries and unifying with society, nature, and the universe, and a higher spirituality such as psychosocial and religious awareness and behavior. I gave a lecture on the function and mechanism of self-transcendence at the Credition 2021 Symposium in Hannover, Germany, based on the relationship of self-transcendence and action self-agency, neural activity in sensorimotor cortex, and aging and disaster experience.
