Register & Tone

• Use a formal but accessible register — academic enough for a neuroscience audience, but not impenetrable to a general reader
• Avoid overly casual expressions; avoid overly stiff bureaucratic phrasing
• Sentence structure: Japanese academic writing favors longer sentences with subordinate clauses; this is appropriate here
• First person: when Baseworks speaks as an organization, use 私たち (watashitachi) — not 弊社 (heisha, too corporate) and not 我々 (wareware, too formal/masculine)

Structural Conventions

• Section headings: translate into Japanese (e.g., “The Research” → 「研究内容」, “About BRNet” → 「BRNetについて」, “Previous Presentations” → 「過去の発表」, “Presenter” → 「発表者」)
• Bold terms (the three components): keep the English term in parentheses after the Japanese — e.g., 固有感覚意識（Proprioceptive Awareness）
• Links: use the same URLs as the English version; link text should be translated naturally
• Dates: use Japanese date format where natural — e.g., 2026年6月8日〜9日; or keep Western format if it reads more naturally in context

---

Pending Review

Items from the BRNet 2026 event post translation that Asia is reviewing:

• All three component names (proprioceptive/spatial/interoceptive awareness)
• “communicability” → 伝達可能性
• Register of the Research section overall

Asia will add corrections below; each confirmed item gets moved to the relevant table above.
