International Symposium "What is an emerging interaction? - An exploration of the principle of emerging interactions in spatiotemporal diversity"

JST CREST「脳領域／個体／集団間のインタラクション創発原理の解明と適用」は，下記の要領で国際シンポジウムを，グランフロント大阪ナレッジシアターにて開催いたします．海外からの5名を含む国内外の著名な招待講演者を迎え，神経科学，理論神経科学，人工知能，ロボティクスなどの様々な観点からインタラクションの創発原理について議論します．活発な議論のために皆様のご参加をお待ち申し上げます．また，本ご案内をご興味のおありの方々にご回覧くださいますと幸いです．

JST CREST “An exploration of the principle of emerging interactions in spatiotemporal diversity” will host an international symposium at Knowledge Theater in Grand Front Osaka as outlined below. We will invite distinguished speakers from both domestic and international arenas, including five speakers from overseas, to discuss the principles of emergent interactions from various perspectives such as neuroscience, theoretical neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and robotics. We look forward to your participation for lively discussions. We would be delighted if those who are interested could take a moment to peruse this announcement.
