The Nikon Imaging Center at Hokkaido University will be holding an academic conference.

In addition to presentations on use cases by neuroscience researchers and leading neuroscience researchers, we will also set up inquiry booths and brochures from sponsoring companies, and we hope that this lecture series will provide an opportunity for interaction between neuroscience researchers and companies.
