Abstract

Recently, the Japanese government designated 246 university departments as 21th Century Centers of Excellence (COE\´s) covering almost all fields of science and technology. Two COE\´s have been selected for the area relevant to this special session. One is formed by the Brain Science Center and other departments of Tamagawa University, and is led by M. Tsukada with the project title being "Integrative Human Science Program". The other COE is the Department of Brain Science and Systems Engineering of Kyutech, being led by T. Yamakawa. Its project title is "World of Brain Computing Interwoven out of Animals and Robots". Both COE\´s are engaged in biology experiments as well as engineering and computational studies.
