Dr.Masataka Higashiwaki elevated to IEEE Fellow


Dr. Masataka Higashiwaki (Director of Green ICT Device Laboratory, Koganei Frontier Research Center, Advanced ICT Research Institute) was elevated to be a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in class of 2023, which is the highest grade of membership. His citation is “for contributions to gallium oxide electronics and millimeter-wave gallium nitride transistors”.

IEEE Fellow is a distinction reserved for select IEEE members whose extraordinary accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest are deemed fitting of this prestigious grade elevation. This prestigious grade elevation is only allowed for senior members who have made important individual contributions to one or more of IEEE fields. The IEEE includes more than 400,000 members from about 160 countries. The total number of Fellows selected in a year cannot exceed one-tenth of one-percent of the IEEE’s voting membership.

Event The 8th CiNet Conference画像

Feb. 15, 2023

The 8th CiNet Conference:
- Beyond Motor Control: Bridging the gap between action and perception -

Mar. 7 (Tue.)- 9 (Thu.), 2023.

Traditionally, the research of motor control and perception/cognition has been studied separately, with the former focusing on how the brain learns to control the body, and the latter focusing on how the brain gathers and integrates input from the outside world. However, the relationship between these areas is not simple; we know that the boundary between action and perception/cognition is ambiguous. Therefore, we must explore research programs that investigate the neural basis of action and perception on a common ground.

The goal of the 8th CiNet Conference is to bring together cognitive and systems neuroscientists who study motor control, perception, and decision-making to share and discuss the latest findings and future directions, with the aim of bridging the gap between research on motor control and perception/decision-making.
