Introduction	Ken Mogi, Ph.D. Neuroscientist, writer, and broadcaster. Author of The little book of ikigai (Awakening your ikigai in the U.S.), and The Way of Nagomi (April 2022) Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ken.mogi.31 Twitter: @kenmogi My mission is to solve the so-called mind-brain problem. I would like to understand how our consciousness full of qualia arise from the billions of firing neurons in the brain. I research in Sony Computer Science Laboratory, Tokyo. I also teach at several universities. I write critical essays on the arts and literature. I was the conceptor for the Qualia Movement of Sony Corporation. I stayed in Cambridge, U.K. for two years to do postdoc. I have published ~ 100 books in Japanese, and The Little Book of Ikigai in English, which is to be translated into 29 languages in 31 countries. I sometimes appear on Japanese television. My given name is Kenichiro (meaning "healthy first son"). So I am formally known as "Kenichiro Mogi". "Ken" is an abbreviation.
