Ichikawa Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that reads the human mind from physiological measures such as gaze and EEG.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring physiological signals to read the mind
The Ichikawa Lab conducts behavioral and cognitive experiments with human participants, aiming to read the mind from the perspectives of psychology and behavioral science.
It approaches the mind with two methods: eye tracking, which measures eye movements while people look at a target, and EEG measurement while they are looking at or thinking about something.
Its research themes are wide-ranging, including interpersonal perception, music listening, and educational activities, and the lab actively carries out collaborative research with groups inside and outside the university.
In supervising students, the lab's policy is to want them to develop the ability to think up their own topics, investigate them, and see them through on their own initiative.
Key terms
- Eye tracking
- A method of measuring eye movements (gaze behavior) while people look at a target
- Sparse modeling
- A general term for the idea of explaining results from experimental data with as few variables as possible, and for the analysis methods based on it
- Data-driven science
- A framework in which data science is applied to a scientific field to advance that field dramatically

ResearchResearch themes
Prof. Ichikawa advances research by measuring physiological indices and analyzing them with data-driven science approaches, including sparse modeling. The lab aims to create a new field that integrates psychology and behavioral science with data-driven science.
Measuring the workings of the mind through physiological indices
The lab takes the view that the workings of the mind can be described by physiological changes in the body, and tries to measure the mind by recording physiological indices. Using eye tracking, EEG, facial electromyography, heart rate measurement, peripheral blood flow measurement, and more, it explores how the mind works in each research theme.
Analyzing psychological data with sparse modeling
The lab is interested in applying sparse modeling, which has been used in fields such as physics and astronomy, to psychology and behavioral science in order to make new discoveries.
Research on data-driven science
The lab also conducts research on data-driven science, a framework in which data science is applied to a scientific field to advance that field dramatically.
Collaborative research beyond the lab
The lab collaborates with the Fujimura Lab at Doshisha University on the social functions of facial expression synchrony, with the Takemura Lab within the university on autism spectrum traits, and with the Koji Lab on the quantitative assessment of learning comprehension. It also collaborates closely with the Okada Lab at the University of Tokyo, which conducts research on data-driven science. Students who join the lab may be assigned to work on these projects.
