Physiology of Children with Disabilities and Neurophysiology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses neurophysiological methods to objectively evaluate the degree of disabilities and the effectiveness of support.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring the effectiveness of support with neurophysiological methods.
Professor Atsuko Gunji's lab works to clarify the pathology of disabilities encountered in special needs education.
Mainly using neurophysiological methods, the lab studies the development of ways to objectively evaluate the degree of disabilities and the effectiveness of support methods, environments, and teaching materials.
The lab has built an experimental system that uses an eye tracker and a lightweight headband-type electroencephalograph (EEG) at the same time, and examines physiological responses when judging children's facial expressions and school scenes.
Professor Gunji is a faculty member in the special needs education specialization of the Faculty of Education.
Key terms
- Social cognition
- Cognition involved in judging facial expressions, actions, scenes, and the like. It develops after birth through the environment and experience, and is also influenced by learning.
- Attention behavior
- Behavior of paying attention to people, objects, text, and so on. It can be evaluated objectively by examining gaze and brain function together.
ResearchResearch themes
Professor Gunji's lab studies methods for objectively evaluating the degree of disabilities and the effects of support from physiological responses such as brain waves and gaze. It aims to share the results as neurophysiological evidence in teacher training and teacher professional development.
Experience of interacting with children and brain responses
The lab compares brain waves and gaze while judging children's facial expressions and scenes seen at school among university students with different levels of experience interacting with children. It is searching for indicators that can quantitatively evaluate, from a neurophysiological perspective, the changes in social cognition brought about by educational practice.
Evaluating attention behavior through gaze and brain function
Targeting people whose attention and social cognition are still developing, the lab focused on attention behavior toward people, objects, and text, and built a quantitative evaluation method that visualizes gaze and brain function in synchronization with behavior and decision-making. Based on the results, it shared information on teaching methods, teaching materials, and environmental arrangements for school and social settings.
