Meeting ID: 921 6698 5125 Passcode: 883637

Recent discussions in neuroscience have been arguing about the necessity of a revision to our approach in neuroscience. A common approach in neuroscience starts from a phenomenon such as attention or memory as defined from our psychological heritage, trying to find a brain correlate of this phenomenon. This method has been argued to be suffering from two main problems first is the loosely defined psychological terms and second is the correlation fallacy that has been a major concern in neuroscience. We invited two experts in neuroscience from both OIST and RIKEN trying to get their insight on this problem and how different experimental, mathematical and analytical techniques will help us frame a new path in neuroscience research.

Topic: ONOS discussion seminar Time: Oct 23, 2020 04:00 PM Osaka, Sapporo, Tokyo

Theoretical Physics Seminar. Speaker: Simone Pigolotti (Biological Complexity). Title: "Bifractal nature of chromosome contact maps"

Different cultures may have different values and approaches when it comes to making decisions. How can I manage the decision making process effectively in meetings? Join us to find answers to this question.

Join the OIST Foundation for a presentation and discussion with two world-renowned architects on 1) the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University’s (OIST) revolutionary elements, 2) OIST’s unique properties, and 3) OIST’s bold challenges. Presenters Kenneth Kornberg and Takashi Okamoto were the chief architects who designed much of OIST’s campus.

Associate Professor Dmitriy Stolyarov , St. Petersburg State University and St. Petersburg Department of Steklov Mathematical Institute Title: Hardy--Littlewood--Sobolev inequality for \(p=1\)

October 22 2020, at 12:00 (room C209 and zoom ), Kevin Dorgans (Postdoctoral Scholar at Neuronal Rhythms in Movement Unit led by Marylka Yoe Uusisaari) will give a Talk on "In vitro imaging of subthreshold voltage oscillation in the inferior olive"

This public panel will explore cybersecurity from US and Japanese perspectives, including issues of trust and transparency and regional cooperation; as well as the geopolitics of submarine cables. Providing insights from both industry and academia in Japan and the United States, it promises to be an engaging session on critical topics for our shared future.

Following the public panel, Pacific Forum Young Leaders Program Director Ariel Stenek will lead an informational session about the program and its offerings, as well as answer questions. Attendees will join breakout rooms where they can connect virtually, share research interests, and discuss the day’s most pressing topics. OIST graduate students and young researchers are invited to participate.

This is an externally organized conference. Please contact the organizers for further details.

This discussion focuses on supporting researchers on how to create a great impact from research according to a funder`s requirements. W e will look at the reasons for the increase in emphasis on impact from research, what the implications are for younger researchers, and what initial steps you can take to begin to include impact in your research. ​ Please join us and learn how!

Speaker: Mahir Can, Tulane University Title: Spherical Varieties and Combinatorics

Abstract: Let G be a reductive complex algebraic group with a Borel subgroup B. A spherical G-variety is an irreducible normal G-variety X where B has an open orbit. If X is affine, or if it is projective but endowed with a G-linearized ample line bundle, then the group action criteria for the sphericality is in fact equivalent to the representation theoretic statement that a certain space of functions (related to X) is multiplicity-free as a G-module. In this talk, we will discuss the following question about a class of spherical varieties: if X is a Schubert variety for G, then when do we know that X is a spherical L-variety, where L is the stabilizer of X in G.
