  • Let's find out how the mind and brain process information through "experiments"!
  • Everything in human's daily social life is subject to study !
  • Success and failure are both important "experiences"!

Associate Professor / AKIMOTO Yoritaka
He is a well rounded teacher who is usually kind and sometimes enthusiastic in his teaching. He kindly discuss students' questions with them, creating an environment in the laboratory where students can easily ask for advice on even the most trivial matters.

Research Content

This laboratory regards human cognitive activity as an information processing system and conducts research to understand its processing process. In our research, we evaluate human cognitive activity by analyzing objective evaluations measured mainly by low-cost electroencephalographs and subjective evaluations collected through questionnaires and other methods. Although the word "psychology" may conjure up images of the humanities, these studies also require knowledge of the sciences in areas such as the analysis of EEG data and statistical processing of questionnaires. From data collection to analysis and evaluation, the methods and contents of these studies are discussed between faculty members and students.

EEG Experiment

A Day in the Lab

Basically, there are no core hours, and each student works independently on his or her own topic of interest while conducting research. In weekly laboratory seminars, we read English papers together and hold study sessions for creating experimental programs and analyzing data. In addition to information exchange and consultation among the members, we also practice presentations just before conferences. In addition in-lab seminars, we hold a joint communication with the Perceptual Informatics Laboratory once a week. I have many opportunities to participate in presentations academic conferences, which provide me with opportunities to review my own research and keep me motivated.
