Call for Researchers and Research Technicians at ATR Brain Information and Communication Research Laboratories

The ATR Brain Information and Communication Research Laboratories, Mathematical Intelligence Laboratory (Director: Saori Tanaka), invites applications for research associates or technical staff for two themes.

Research Themes

Theme 1: Large-scale Brain Image and Behavior Database

Our laboratory focuses on constructing and analyzing large-scale, multivariate datasets, including brain imaging data, biological data, clinical rating scales, questionnaires, and cognitive tasks, encompassing various individual characteristics. Our goal is to elucidate phenomena specific to major behavioral transitions, such as development, aging, and disease, using multimodal data.

We have already established and published the world's largest multi-disease and multi-center brain imaging database (Ref. 1). Our current project, Brain/MINDS 2.0, aims to expand this to include multi-species and multi-modality data, constructing a cross-species database (https://sites.google.com/riken-cbs.org/bm2go-en?authuser=0). We welcome individuals interested in optimizing large-scale databases, elucidating brain mechanisms of development, aging, and disease, and applying analytical frameworks from other fields to brain data.

(2021). A multi-site, multi-disorder resting-state magnetic resonance image database. Scientific data, 8(1), 227. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-021-01004-8

Theme 2: Mathematical Modeling of Mental Disorders

Our laboratory investigates the brain mechanisms of human decision-making. Using fMRI experiments, we have clarified the implementation of reinforcement learning algorithms, potential mathematical models of behavioral learning in animals, in the brain. Recently, we have focused on problem behavior as a time-discounting dysfunction, developing research aimed at elucidating the mechanisms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (Ref. 2).

In Brain/MINDS 2.0 project, we aim to construct a mathematical model that can simulate symptoms and treatment effects. We welcome individuals interested in mathematical modeling of behavior and the brain.
