Neurophysiology - Shinkeisei-ri (English spelling) neurophysiology
Neurophysiology is a field of research that seeks to understand how the brain works by using the physiological phenomena exhibited by individual neurons and their populations as clues. While cognitive science in general is attempting to understand brain functions, it still treats the brain as a black box, or studies cognitive systems and models that are unrelated to the actual brain. In contrast, neurophysiology attempts to understand sensation, perception, memory, learning, etc. at the level of single neurons or neural circuit networks consisting of populations of neurons, based on the anatomical structure and physiological functions of the brain.

神経生理とは,個々の神経細胞やその集団が示す生理学的な現象を手がかりに,脳の働きを理解しようとする研究分野である。一般の認知科学が,脳機能を理解しようと試みているにもかかわらず,依然として脳をブラックボックスとして取り扱ったり,実際の脳とは無関係な認知システムやモデルを研究の対象にしているのに対して,神経生理学では,感覚,知覚,記憶,学習などを,脳の解剖学的な構造や生理学的な機能をもとに,単一神経細胞のレベルや神経細胞の集団からなる神経回路網のレベルで理解しようと試みている。
