summaryWe investigate how the higher-level cognitive functions of human beings are realized, from both experimental and theoretical approach. The target functions are visual pattern recognition, cognition by embodiment, integration of multimodal sensory information, verbal / non-verbal communication, etc..., which are challenged by pschological experiments and computer simulation of neural networks. We also investigate the neural basis of such functions by brain imaging using fMRI/MEG
