Research Activities of Graduate Students
Research Scenes




Incentive Events

The graduate students, the researchers and the faculty members concerned with brain sciences in Tamagawa University gather and spend a few days in a hotel in order to discuss ongoing works of all members intensively. This is a good opportunity to expand our outlooks.

The graduate students and the young researchers concerned with brain sciences in Tamagawa University take an opportunity to invite speakers to this forum by themselves. They can experience advanced researches and interact with leading researchers in the field of brain sciences.

Tamagawa University Brain Science Institute annually opens a training course for undergraduate and graduate students, and young researchers in Japan to learn research techniques on brain sciences. Our graduate students are given an opportunity to promote mutual friendship with the participants from all over Japan.
