The Current Status and Future Application of Research in Brain Function

Abstract

  Brain function analysis from a physiological point of view, especially brain network analysis, is progressing rapidly and this progress is expected to result in the elucidation of the brain network and in overcoming neurological diseases. Furthermore, analysis of the brain information processing mechanism itself is also applicable to machine learning and artificial intelligence. A large amount of funding is invested in this field with new research projects springing up all over the world.

  In this paper, we outline the brain network and introduce our recent research concerning idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus and temporal lobe epilepsy.
