The Time Your Brain Softens / Preview of Volume 5
Shapoi Times: An account of an alien who visited Earth

Neuroscience helps us understand who we are and the people around us.
It provides a very important clue to understanding.

When my daughter was very young, she would get really frustrated because she couldn't remember Internet addresses.
So when I told him, “People can’t remember more than 7 items at a time,” he said, “It’s only natural that I can’t remember this,” and he seemed to understand.
Another child complained that she didn't get treated fairly by her parents compared to her older sister, so she called the two children over and said, "There's a place in our brain called the 'insula' where we compare ourselves and our siblings to see if our parents treat us equally.
So, no matter how much you try not to be jealous and hold it in, our brains just work that way, so don't feel guilty about comparing your siblings to each other, and if there's something you think is unfair, tell Mom and Dad." When I said that, the kids understood the situation and made up with each other.

Seeing this, I thought that I would like to publish a children's book or a youth book for children when they were young.
So, if I had to publish just one children's book, I would want it to be one that teaches children about the brain science that helps us understand our minds.

We don't really learn about brain science until we graduate from high school.
But brain science offers crucial insights into who I am, why my friends behave the way they do, the people around us, and why our society operates the way it does.
That's why, if we teach children about brain science from an early age, they will be able to better manage their emotions and understand why their friends act the way they do.
So, I planned this book with the thought that it would be great to teach children about brain science in a fun and interesting way.

If I had to define [Human Exploration Report] in one word…
It's like a jukebox of curiosity.

Most of the concerns children have when they are young can actually be answered by understanding the brain.
"Why do I feel this way at these times? Why do I sometimes fight with someone, lose control of my impulses, and want to do things I'm told not to? Why does that friend act that way? Why do our parents tell us this?"

Most of the questions we have as children can be explained quite a bit by explaining to them the mind and the brain, the vessel that holds that mind.
So I think [Human Exploration Report] is a jukebox of the curiosities and questions we really wonder about.
If you put the questions you normally have into a book, it's like a jukebox that comes up with great answers through brain science.
So, I hope that children will accept this idea: 'Brain science isn't a difficult subject, but rather a map to understanding themselves and their friends.'

The theme of volume 1 is 'appearance', and volumes 2 and 3 are 'memory' and 'emotions'.
Interesting topics continue

Everyone is sensitive about their appearance.
Actually, I think it's so obvious, but it's also really interesting, because to our eyes, the faces of monkeys and gorillas all look similar.
But among them, they will very delicately figure out which monkey is cooler and more awesome, and they will compare and compete with each other.
Same goes for us.
If you look at it from an alien's perspective, it might be really surprising why people compare and obsess over who is prettier and who looks better when their eyes, nose, and mouth look similar.
Of course, it can lead us to be too superficial, but in the process, it also seems that all of the things that allow us to delicately read other people's emotions and understand them through their facial expressions are contained in their appearance.
So, I thought it would be great if children could understand how the hearts of people who understand each other are formed through the reason why humans are so obsessed with appearance, so I boldly chose appearance, which is a topic that children find so fascinating, as the topic of Volume 1.

Volumes 2 and 3 deal with 'memory' and 'emotions' respectively.
In fact, it is also the element we are most curious about about ourselves.
The questions about who we are interested in and who we fall in love with are very interesting.
So, while the story starts with appearance, it will continue to explore the many complex and diverse aspects of human nature.
You can look forward to more interesting stories in the future.
[Human Exploration Report] will continue to explore fascinating and interesting topics about us humans.
