My current research interests lie in Self-Organizing Dynamical Equations, Reinforcement Learning, and Self-Oscillatory Networks. I am currently located in Fukuoka, Japan. I love the warmth of summer (especially its toxic sunray) and starry sky. Most importantly, I look forward to the advancements in artificial intelligence that may one day replace me.
PhD Student @ Faculty of Information Science and Electrical Engineering, Kyushu University Member @ Laboratory of Intelligent SystemsSelf-oscillation is an emergent behavior naturally occurring in biological neural circuits, facilitating the coordination of complex locomotion and cognitive functions. Recently, I have been focusing on developing discrete dynamical system models, termed Self-Oscillatory Networks (SONs), which is proposed to model the functional behavior of such neural circuits. In brief, SONs are recurrent neural networks that generate spontaneous, self-sustaining rhythmic patterns without any input. Check out the movie below about one of the models of SONs.
