Welcome to the dreamy world of brain science!

Seijuro Ichikawa—Yokohama, Japan

Brain science is drawing greater attention as the popularity of the brain training video games continues to rise. But did you know that fruits of advanced research is not only used for games, but is also being applied to the treatment of dementia and computer development?

Riken, an independent administrative institution, is distributing free copies of the "dreamy brain science map" in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the inauguration of the Riken Brain Science Institute "BSI".

This map contains the history of modern brain science beginning with Pavlov's dogs to cutting-edge brain science including BSI's findings, and more "brainy" information.

A limited 5,000 copies of the A2-size (420 x 594) map may be ordered by phone or e-mail. You can also download the PDF file for free off the Internet. Perhaps we will become more knowledgeable about brain science if we put the A2-size posters distributed free of charge up on the wall. Why not get one for your home?

Working to communicate about the environment and CSR while being tossed about in the megapolis. As the speed at which the world turns is accelerating, I have come to ponder about "whether science and technology makes us and our planet happy". Although we often hear grim news about our future and the future of our planet, I hope to bring to you news that would give you some hope.
