Supervisor

Associate Professor / NAMBU Isao
Our laboratory has just been established in 2017. Nambu-sensei is a young, gentle supervisor who is friendly in discussion and who can understand his students. In addition, he also has a very encouraging spirit which helps him to point out critical problems in research and lifestyle as well as helping in resolving them.

Research Content

Human brain can perform complex tasks such as motion control or recognition with an incredible speed that surpasses any high-graded computer. However, until now, we still do not have a clear understanding about our brain and there are still many phenomena of our brain which have not been explained in detail. Therefore, our laboratory was established with the goal and desire to discover the mystery of the human nervous system. Our laboratory main researches are related to measuring brain activities (by the ionic current within neurons of the brain or hemodynamic responses) and muscular activity

Measuring Brain Waves in the Laboratory

A Day in the Lab

There is no core time at our laboratory as well as no impositions about the time to arrive/leave the laboratory, we can proceed research with the schedules made by ourselves and adjust it so we learn how to well-balance between research and life. In order to have a fit schedule, there is a meeting to discuss our research once a week . In addition, Japanese students as well as students from other countries (Vietnam, Malaysia) are very close friends who often go shopping, eating or just having light chats while enjoying snacks, tea or coffee.
