Systems Neuroscience Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A systems neuroscience lab that experimentally investigates the brain's sensory systems and higher-order functions.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding the brain means understanding ourselves
The Okamoto Lab, a systems neuroscience lab, experimentally studies the brain's sensory systems and higher-order functions.
Its subjects include the senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, and thermal sensation, as well as language, memory, learning, emotion, and motivation.
The lab also works on environmental comfort, neurofeedback training methods to enhance brain function, applications to biomedical engineering, and evaluating the effects of Future Design.
On Kyushu University's researcher information page, the lab is introduced under the name "Tsuyoshi Okamoto Lab".
Key terms
- Neurofeedback
- A training method that uses the state of brain waves as a cue, aiming to enhance brain function
- P3
- A component of the EEG (event-related potential) involved in attentional processes in working memory
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the mechanisms of the brain's sensory systems and higher-order functions through a variety of experiments. It also works on environmental comfort, neurofeedback training methods for improving brain function, applications to biomedical engineering, and evaluating the effects of Future Design.
*Illustrative imageNeuroscientific Evaluation of Future Design
The lab conducts research that evaluates the effects of Future Design from a neuroscience perspective. The research period is listed as April 2024 to the present.
*Illustrative imageNeuroscience Research on Campfires
The lab studies campfires from a neuroscience perspective, using brain waves (EEG) as a clue. An interim report is also available on a randomized controlled trial examining how watching flames affects mind and body.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping Neurofeedback Training Methods
The lab develops and tests training methods that use neurofeedback to improve higher-order brain functions. One study examined long-term memory using training based on the ratio of theta to low-beta waves in the EEG.
*Illustrative imageNeuroscience Research on Odors
The lab investigates how odors affect brain function. One study used the EEG component P3 to examine how a citrus scent affects memory for the color orange.
