Biological Information Analysis Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab investigates biological information through epilepsy, artificial vision, and microRNA.
AboutAbout the lab
Examining biological information from many angles
The Biological Information Analysis Lab is a lab whose faculty members work on research related to biological information, including EEG and magnetoencephalography in epilepsy, artificial vision, and tests using microRNA in blood.
Professor Hiroshi Shigeto is engaged in both clinical practice and research on neurological diseases, and uses neurophysiological methods to study epilepsy.
Lecturer Hiroyuki Tashiro develops artificial vision systems that aim to restore visual function in people who have lost their sight.
Assistant Professor Hiromichi Shiotsu aims to develop new clinical tests using microRNA in blood.
Key terms
- Magnetoencephalography
- A test that measures the magnetic activity of the brain. The lab is examining whether it is useful for capturing epileptic electrical discharges.
- Artificial vision
- A system that replaces the function of a damaged retina with artificial means, aiming to restore the ability to see.
- microRNA
- A type of small RNA. The lab aims to develop new clinical tests using microRNA in blood.
ResearchResearch themes
In this lab, each faculty member pursues their own research, including epilepsy, artificial vision, and tests using microRNA in blood. The research fields span neurology, biomedical engineering, and molecular biology.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of magnetoencephalography and EEG in epilepsy
Using magnetoencephalography in patients with epilepsy, the lab measures epileptic magnetic field activity and examines whether network analysis helps detect the epileptogenic zone. It also analyzes scalp EEG and depth electrode recordings.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of artificial vision systems
The lab develops artificial vision systems for people with severe visual impairment (blindness). These systems replace the function of the damaged retina with artificial means, aiming to restore the ability to see.
*Illustrative imageMedical devices using electrical and magnetic stimulation
The lab works on developing medical treatment devices that apply neuromodulation. Its research keywords include electrical stimulation, magnetic stimulation, chronic pain, and antidepressant effects.
*Illustrative imageClinical tests using microRNA in blood
The lab aims to develop new clinical tests using microRNA in blood. Its research keywords include genetic testing and ultrasound examination.
