City & Tech [Media] Neurodiversity: The World in Our Minds, Chomorrow (Nikkei Morning Edition) Today’s morning edition of the Nikkei Shimbun features a three-page, full-color special feature on Neurodiversity, “The World in Our Minds,” and Chomorrow.
Araya’s “Neu World” and brainwave games; a live DJ set by Mr. Muto, who has ALS; OriHime from the Orii Laboratory; “Brain Habits” from NTT Human Informatics Laboratories; Professor Nagai of the University of Tokyo’s ASD simulator; and Joi’s Neurodiversity School.
They're all exhibitors! I'm so happy.
I started my work on neurodiversity a year and a half ago, and although I’d been reaching out to media outlets—including *The World in Our Minds*—I hadn’t really seen much of a response, so I’m delighted that you’ve put together this special feature.
Every brain is unique!
May the concept of neurodiversity continue to spread.
Hey, everyone at Minno! Check this out~!
