Application to Health care, Medical Solutions, and Mobility Application to Human-friendly Product Design Application to Human Emotional Cognitive Engineering
The main research focus is physiology, device development for physiological evaluations. Emphasis is also placed on the interaction system among vehicle, home, and medical institution. Our research outcomes contribute to health care management, medical solutions, and the mobility using vehicle. Comuputational human model can help engineers to design human-friendly product effectively by virtually using a product's CAD model and assessing its usability. Our studies are on how to build the model, how to make it move, and how to assess products by such human models. Our main research interest is to elucidate the mechanisms of human multi-sensory information processing (Cognitive Neuroscience) and the corresponance between our actual experience and stimuli design actually presented in a virtual reality space. Developing methods to objectively evaluate our subjective feeling on any products by combining scalp EEG and fMRI to clarify the dynamics of neural oscillatory activities that express our subjective experiences.
