Doi-sensei is very caring especially in research-related matters. He constantly keeps in touch with students individually and gives us accurate advice with his extensive knowledge. He is very close to his students, and is always willing to give them advice, no matter how trivial it may seem.

Research Content

Our research aims (i) to deepen our understanding of the characteristics of human brain function and behavior (Basic Research) and (ii) to develop assistive technologies based on the knowledge obtained through basic research (Applied Research). As an example, by data mining of human facial images and electroencephalograms (EEG), we are developing a model to estimate the degree of concentration and motivational state in eduucational settings. Our goal is to improve the quliaty of services in educational and clinical domains by bridging information engineering and basic research on human behavior and brain function.

A Day in the Lab

This laboratory is a new laboratory, established just last year. Basically, there are no core hours. Students can decide their own research themes through discussions with Doi sensei. In the weekly seminar, students make progress report of their reserches or present a summary of papers in fields related to his/her own research. At that time, students ask each other questions about points they do not understand and deepen their understanding of the subject.
