Functional Brain Imaging
We analyze multiple functional brain imaging data using a mathematical model and a physiological model to develop the technique that enables us to measure the spatiotemporal dynamics of brain activity in humans.
Cognition, memorization, motivation, intent are higher brain functions unique to humans. We study how such various higher brain functions are displayed in the operation of the human brain in images.
We study how various elements of languages are displayed in the operation of the human brain in images, and also examine the relationship between methods of learning foreign language and brain activity in humans, furthermore, the relationship between verbal/nonverbal communications and the brain activity in humans.
We develop the system for improvement of brain functions in the elderly, which is capable of prevention and improvement of senile dementia, as well as the system for support of the healthy development of brain in children.
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience
We evaluate how products or systems developed by industries affect the user's brain using scientific measurement devices. And then a research on the collaboration with industries and universities is carried out based on the results.
