Higher Brain Function Emergence Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab investigates brain functions such as language and memory, using patients' symptoms and electroencephalograms (EEG) as clues.
AboutAbout the lab
Preserving the brain's power and fostering its further emergence.
The Higher Brain Function Emergence Lab studies the mechanisms of higher brain functions such as language, cognition, action, and memory.
Its research and practice aim not only to keep the brain healthy but also to foster the emergence of even higher abilities.
The lab approaches this from two sides: clinical research that uses the symptoms of patients with brain damage as clues, and research that visualizes brain activity.
The lab believes that people with age-related changes, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or dementia still have many abilities that can be put to use.
Key terms
- Higher brain function
- Advanced functions carried out by the brain, such as speaking, remembering, directing attention, and organizing movements.
- Mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
- A condition that is not dementia but is considered to lie between normal cognition and dementia.
- Equivalent current dipole source localization
- A method for estimating where in the brain the electrical signals of an EEG, measured at the surface of the head, originate. Also called ECDL.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates the mechanisms of human cognitive function from two sides: clinical research that explores them through patients' symptoms, and research that visualizes brain activity. The targets cover a wide range, including language, cognition, action, and memory.
*Illustrative imageVisualizing brain function with EEG
Using equivalent current dipole source localization (ECDL), which estimates the sources of the electrical signals in an EEG, this research clarifies which brain regions work, and over what time course, during a given cognitive activity.
*Illustrative imageExploring how the brain works through symptoms
This clinical research analyzes cognitive symptoms in patients with brain damage and examines their relationship to the location of the brain lesion and to the pathology. The lab believes the symptoms themselves hold clues to the mysteries of the brain.
MembersFaculty
The members of the Higher Brain Function Emergence Lab consist of faculty, invited professors, visiting researchers, and secretaries.
