International Institute for Integrative Sleep Medicine (WPI-IIIS) Abe Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies human sleep and sleepiness through measurement and EEG.
AboutAbout the lab
How are sleep and sleepiness related to the human mind and behavior?
The Abe Lab conducts research on human sleep and sleepiness in the fields of behavioral science, psychophysiology, and neuroscience.
Currently, the lab mainly works on a method for estimating reaction time as a continuous value through non-contact measurement of eyelid indices, and on EEG-based estimation of emotion in dreams during REM sleep.
The lab aims to prevent accidents caused by sleepiness and to realize a safe and productive society.
Key terms
- Eyelid indices
- Measurements related to the eyelids. They can be taken with a non-contact eye tracker or webcam.
- Psychomotor vigilance test
- A test that has been used to evaluate the decline in performance that accompanies sleepiness, using reaction time as the indicator.
- No-report paradigm
- A method for evaluating emotion in dreams objectively, without relying on the person's subjective report.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates human sleep and sleepiness from the perspectives of behavioral science, psychophysiology, and neuroscience. Current projects include estimating reaction time from eyelid measurements and estimating emotion in dreams during REM sleep from EEG.
*Illustrative imageEstimating Sleepiness from Eyelid Measurements
The psychomotor vigilance test has been used to assess sleepiness, but no other tasks can be done while taking it. The lab has therefore developed a technique that estimates reaction time as a continuous value from eyelid indices alone, which can be measured with an eye tracker or webcam, and aims to prevent accidents by detecting sleepiness while driving.
*Illustrative imageEstimating Dream Emotions from EEG
The lab aims to estimate emotion in dreams during REM sleep from EEG with high accuracy, and to establish a no-report paradigm that evaluates it objectively without relying on subjective reports. It is also working on technology to reduce unpleasant emotions in dreams.
