Introduction of speakers
When he was an undergraduate at university, He was interested in artificial intelligence and stayed up all night for months to create a "table tennis robot."
At the same time, he began to specialize in brain science by asking himself, "Why can't machines do simple movements that even young children do, and why humans can't do simple calculations that machines solve?“
And he began his career as a brain scientist who raised "Big Question" such as "who we are, why we exist, and what life should mean."
