あなたの研究テーマについて教えてください。What is your research theme?

My research theme is to do whole-brain modelling of OCD patients with simulated deep brain stimulation(DBS).

I'm going to use The Virtual Brain platform to model the brain of OCD with research and dataset of brain connectivity of OCD patients and then simulate DBS treatment on the model to study the effect of DBS. This is the first research for whole-brain modelling of OCD, which we believe that this can make us understand more about OCD, and especially help us develop new methods of the treatments of OCD. With the help of a computational model, one can explore treatments faster, and with the help of whole-brain, better results on simulation can be gained.

なぜ博士課程へ進学しましたか？Why did you decide to pursue a doctoral program?

I'm interested in staying in academia to do more research on computational neuroscience and that's why I became a doctor.

Graniteの支援で役立っている・助かっていることを教えてください。Please share what has been helpful or beneficial through the support provided by Granite.

The best thing about Granite is that it provides me many opportunities for overseas events. I'm currently applying for a lab stay program which is an oversea internship program supported by Granite which is very helpful for me to gain oversea experience.

将来の目標、もしくはあなたが胸に秘めた野望があればぜひ教えてください。Please share your future goals or any ambitions you hold close to your heart.

I would like to become a researcher on computational neuroscience. My final goal is to study human intelligence and how intelligence emerges from humans.
