Research Content

This laboratory conducts research to deepen understanding of human cognitive and behavioral characteristics while developing support technologies that apply these insights in real-world settings. Our work includes analyzing dynamic facial videos, electroencephalogram(EEG)signals, and other physiological data to estimate subjective states and to predict and assess developmental disorder risks in young children. By advancing remote learning services and enabling early, accessible screening methods, we seek to support education, healthcare, and inclusive societies, ultimately contributing meaningful value and positive social impact through interdisciplinary collaboration, ethical research practices, and continuous engagement with academic and community partners.

A Day in the Lab

In this laboratory, weekly seminars are held where members present literature related to their research and topics from related fields. There is no fixed core time, and students are encouraged to take an independent and proactive approach to their work. When difficulties or questions arise, students and faculty discuss them together to deepen understanding. The laboratory conducts a wide range of research activities, including the measurement and analysis of biological signals. Even students without prior experience in analytical tools receive careful and supportive guidance from senior students and faculty, allowing them to work with confidence.
