From Sweden, but I've been living in Osaka for nine years. I've worked in cognitive science, neuroscience and robotics. I am affiliated with Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, but placed at the RIKEN Advanced Institute of Computing Science in Kobe, where I work on a project to model the subcortical motor-related areas in order to better understand the physiological effects of Parkinsons disease.
That sounds amazing! I have always had this weird interest in robotics and the use of robotic limbs for those who have lost their own.
