【salon】Hero brain and villain brain｜仏教と科学のサロンNo.52：ヒーロー脳とヴィラン脳
The other day, for the 52nd time already (…it’s been going on for so long!) at the “Buddhism and Science Salon, I had a good talk with Rev. Gwen as my partner, the head monk of Hongwanji Temple. The theme this time was “Hero Brain and Villain Brain.” Needless to say, from the Pure Land
Implantable Brain Device Cures Epilepsy｜埋め込み型脳内デバイスでてんかんを治す
It is almost a frightening scientific and technological advancement…. A medical device has been developed that dramatically reduces seizure symptoms in patients with chronic epilepsy, which until now was considered nearly impossible to cure. Although neurosurgery is required because the device is placed directly over the brain, considering the fact that patients with this condition
【project】Online Demo of Clinical Registry Building System for Specialists at UM｜臨床レジストリ構築システムをUM附属病院の専門医向けにオンラインデモ
MyCR@UM, a system that allows physicians and clinical researchers to build and operate a reliable, standardized clinical registry without the knowledge of database or programming, is being developed by eHealth Unit of the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, and the Clinical Investigation Center. This project, too, is about to
【salon】How many times have we visited back? Mādhyamaka and Yogācāra!｜何度目の再訪？中観と唯識！
Really, how many times have I talked with Rev. Gwen, the Go-Monshu, on this subject? However, it’s the Mādhyamaka School and the Yogācāra School as the “most fundamental religious philosophy platform of Mahayana Buddhism” that absolutely cannot be dropped, right? But unlike Tibetan Buddhism, where both doctrines can be the central talk even when it
【project】Smartphone app that predicts the air quality for chronic asthma patients; the final spurt!｜慢性喘息患者向けスマホアプリ開発ラストスパート！
As I reported in the past, we at UM (University of Malaya) are responsible for sub-projects in ASEAN in the bigger RESPIRE project led by the University of Edinburgh Medical School in the UK. One of the projects is creating a smartphone application for chronic asthma patients to prevent asthma attacks by capturing data on
Screw the “genetic mess”!｜糞くらえ「遺伝子ガチャ」！
https://www.technologynetworks.com/genomics/news/healthy-lifestyle-can-overcome-poor-genes-by-60-386316 It’s really important, daily physical activity and exercise. That is the result of a large study that found that environmental factors may reverse the effect of genetic risks for a longer or shorter life span. “The researchers maintain that their results indicate that genetic risks for a shorter lifespan may be offset by a
Depression is not a “mental symptom”｜うつ病は「精神症状」にあらず
The interdependence of body and mind has been increasingly understood in recent years in the West. In the East, it has long been known as “mind-body unity” in the world of religion and martial arts, but when the scalpel of western science is once again inserted into this statement, it gets far more convincing. This
【webinar】Webinar on Health Informatics for Medical Students｜医学部生向けにヘルスインフォマティクス講義
This time, I gave a webinar to a lecture request in the “Health Informatics/Health Informatics” program designed for students of the UM (University of Malaya) Faculty of Medicine. However, the organizer, Prof Nasriah, who now teaches in Saudi Arabia, and myself and Prof Pang are all colleagues in the eHealth Unit anyways. Only Prof Sarinder,

【life】a day trip to Malacca｜マラッカ日帰り旅行
I have been living in Malaysia for 2.5 years now, and the day to leave here is approaching. I have about 6 months left of exciting and enjoyable days. We are sad to leave, but I’m sure I’ll return frequently as my relationship with Universiti Malaya and others will still continue. Since the start of
