Supervisor

Professor / NAKAGAWA Masahiro
Professor Nakagawa has a friendly personality, and we can easily talk about research, trivial problems, hobbies, and so on. He actively provides opportunities for students to present the results of their research at academic conferences. He also focuses on research and development, and students are given the opportunity to be a part of it with responsibility.

Research Content

Applying the concept of "chaos and fractals" in nature, we are engaged in research on the analysis of biological information and natural phenomena, especially on the quantification of human sensitivity using Electroencephalography (EEG).
In addition, we are also conducting diverse research in brain function-related fields such as neural networks and brain-computer interface, as well as in voice, image, and bioassay, applying chaos fractal theory to suit individual interests.
Our technologies have attracted social attention, and we aim to contribute to society by conducting many collaborative research projects and actively participating in exhibitions and events.

A Day in the Lab

We have no core times and only students in the research office.
Except for periodic progress report seminars, the use of time is left up to the individual, allowing us to work at our own pace.
Students are given the opportunity to present at conferences and write papers, depending on the results of their research.
We can research flexibly according to our own motivation and personality.
Because of this freedom, small events are often held in addition to regular events such as cherry blossom viewing and trips, allowing students to enjoy their days while balancing their research.
