Summary
Diversity is important in order to create an equal world where all work together, respect each other, and develop new product and solutions for all. Therefore, it is important to hear more ofter about scientific arguments on diversity, e.g., from Gina Rippon's research regarding the study of different personalities. Her research focuses on the differences between female and male brain, how the brain is developed and what factors decide who we become. We believe that this knowledge should be available to the whole society to let us think differently and to better use our human resources for our own benefit. Apart from that, since we are a team working in Neurorobotics, insights from Professor Gina Rippon's findings will be useful for maturing our vision on brain investigation.
