Toward a New Paradigm for Epilepsy Treatment: Mapping How the Human Brain is Wired

Epilepsy affects one in every 100 people. Prof. MATSUMOTO Riki discovered a new mapping method for human brain connectivity. This method has been used clinically in many parts of the world. We interviewed him to learn about the basics of epilepsy and his recent activities.

An International Platform for unique silicon-based nanomaterial applications

Nanoparticles, which respond to light waves, are called “nanoantennas.” Nanoantenna particles should be suitable as biosensors and stable coloring materials. Associate Professor SUGIMOTO Hiroshi developed a unique manufacturing process for nanoantennas made from dielectric silicon.
