*What is IRCN?
IRCN was established in 2017 as a prestigious government-funded World Premier International (WPI) center. IRCN has a 10-year mission: to understand the principles of the developing brain with the ultimate goals of solving mental illness and brain disorders, and developing next-generation artificial intelligence (A.I.) by combining life sciences and information sciences.
