Funabiki Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores how states of the mind relate to development and traits, through brain function studies and cohort studies.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding the human mind with unshakable evidence
The Funabiki Lab studies how states of the human mind relate to development from early childhood, environment, personality, traits, and cognitive mechanisms.
It aims to detect this academically as evidence that does not rely on subjective or momentary judgment, and to work toward contributing fairly to many people.
The lab works on developmental disorders, cohort studies tracking the development of infants and young children, brain function research, and mental health, including collaboration and joint research with other labs.
The lab welcomes people who will work together, with a strong sense of ethics and from various angles, on the delicate issue of "the human mind."
Key terms
- Cohort study
- A research method that follows the same group of people over a long period to examine changes that occur over time.
- NIRS
- A method that shines near-infrared light from outside the head and examines brain activity from changes in cerebral blood flow.
- ASEBA
- A behavioral assessment questionnaire developed by Achenbach. It covers people from infants to older adults and assesses both self-report and reports by others.
ResearchResearch themes
This lab investigates how a person's state of mind is related not only to the current environment but also to development from early childhood, environment, personality, traits, and cognitive mechanisms. It takes multifaceted approaches, including collaboration and joint research with other labs.
Work on developmental disorders
The lab regards developmental disorders as a field in which people in many roles across medicine, schools, and society work together. While continuing clinical practice, it conducts joint research across faculties in cooperation with other clinical departments, local government, schools and childcare settings, and education centers.
Developmental cohort study of infants and young children
In coordination with the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics at Kyoto University Hospital, the lab takes part in a cohort study that tracks physical, mental, and motor development from the fetal stage to age 6, and is responsible for the period from 10 months after birth onward. Recently it has also worked on web-based questionnaire surveys and gait measurement of children.
Brain function research on developmental disorders
The lab aims to objectively understand, at the level of brain function, the differences between people with developmental disorders and typically developing people, and to apply this to strategies for everyday life. It measures EEG, MRI, NIRS, autonomic nervous function, and more, and analyzes how bodily sensation, postural control, communication between two people, memory, and fine motor dexterity relate to cognitive tests and behavioral assessments.
Maintaining mental health and preventing problems
From the perspective of the interaction among traits, development, and environment, the lab analyzes the factors that lead to mental health breakdown, aiming to apply the findings to prevention and maintenance. It has compiled the Japanese version of ASEBA, a mental health scale widely used internationally, standardized it within Japan for each life stage, and explores issues through international comparison.
MembersFaculty
The members of the Funabiki Lab are faculty members, researchers, and students in the doctoral, master's, and undergraduate programs.
