Cognitive Informatics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses psychophysics to uncover the cognitive functions underlying human behavior.

AboutAbout the lab
Understanding human behavior from the principles of experimental psychology.
The Cognitive Informatics Lab (Matsumiya Lab) aims to understand human behavior from the principles of experimental psychology.
People engage in a wide variety of behaviors in daily life, and multisensory processes such as vision and somatosensation are deeply involved in controlling them.
These multisensory processes give rise to cognitive functions such as awareness of one's own body.
Using psychophysical methods, the lab takes on the challenge of uncovering the cognitive functions inherent in human behavior.
Key terms
- Psychophysics
- A field that measures the relationship between the physical intensity of stimuli such as light and sound and the perception people experience.
- Somatosensation
- The sense of touch felt through the skin, muscles, and joints, as well as the sense of the body's position and movement.
- Multisensory
- The processing together of information from multiple senses, such as vision and touch.
ResearchResearch themes
Multisensory processes such as vision and somatosensation are deeply involved in controlling everyday behavior. Matsumiya Lab uses psychophysical methods to uncover the cognitive functions inherent in human behavior.
