Brain science is valuable not only for the advancement of science but also because it can greatly impact our society and economy. To meet these expectations, the Brain Science Institute (BSI) was established in 1997 as part of RIKEN, an independent research institution supported by the Japanese government. BSI aims to develop domestic and international brain researchers by creating an environment that will integrate various intellectual disciplines and from that convergence find solutions that will ultimately benefit society in the realms of medicine, engineering, business, and education. At the starting time of the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) in 2005, Neuroinformatics Japan Center (NIJC) was founded at RIKEN BSI as the home to INCF Japan Node and helps to bridge INCF and Japan’ s Neuroinformatics. Together with universities and research institutes all over Japan, RIKEN BSI helps to promote the construction of original databases and utility environments for domestic and international uses.RIKEN BSI is starting RIKEN BSI Research Database Portal as well, for the purpose of sharing state-of-the art data obtained at RIKEN BSI.
Japan has acknowledged the importance of neuroinformatics and has been working to develop an infrastructure since before the launching of INCF. In promoting neuroinformatics, we have three objectives:・To provide web access to neuroinformatics data, models, and tools.・To promote collaboration transcending disciplinary and regional barriers.・To ensure that the knowledge gained through neuroinformatics will be applied to meet society’s needs.Since the INCF Japan Node office was located in the Neuroinformatics Japan Center, RIKEN Brain Science Institute, we have developed innovative projects all over Japan in collaboration with universities and research institutes. This include creating and making publically available, 12 web-based databases known as platforms, as well as developing an environment in which data, models, and tools can be seamlessly shared across these platforms. The INCF Japan Node also functions to transmit original undertakings of this kind to the rest of Japan and overseas. We look forward to your active participation.

Neuroinformatics is a new research field combining neuroscience
and informatics to develop and apply advanced tools and
approaches that will enhance our understanding of the structure and
functions of the brain.
The synergy from combining these approaches is expected to
accelerate scientific and technological progress, resulting in major
medical, social, and economic benefits, and on August 1, 2005, the
International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) was
established at the recommendation of the Global Science Forum
(GSF) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD), to promote the development of
neuroinformatics as a global effort.
The mission of INCF Japan Node is to promote neuroinformatics
within Japan, in collaboration with INCF.
