AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the mechanisms of sensibility and emotion through sleep and empathy.
The lab of Assistant Professor Yuki Motomura conducts research with keywords such as sensibility (kansei), emotion, empathy, and sleep.
It investigates when and through what mechanisms various mental functions arise, from the perspectives of Kansei science, physiological anthropology, and neuroscience.
From the same perspectives, it also approaches the question of what roles these mental functions have played in human survival.
The lab aims to clarify the sensibility and emotional functions of humans, which underlie the essence of human society, and to give back its findings toward realizing a society of well-being.
