Biophysics - Origin of Life and Consciousness
Since 2006, Arisaka’s Lab has been active in biophysics, by developing custom-made high-speed microscopes. Our ultimate goal is to understand the origin of life and consciousness in terms of fundamental physics laws.
This is a picture taken at Malague near the Pierre Auger Observatory (along the hill under the Andes). Why are these flowers so beautiful?
The above diagram represents how life and consciousness have evolved and emerged in physical space-time. This is the central theme of Arisaka Lab.
