Cognitive Behavioral Physiology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies how the brain and mind work, and develops new treatments based on that understanding.

AboutAbout the lab
Advancing the science of the brain and mind.
The Cognitive Behavioral Physiology Lab aims to advance the science of the brain and mind.
It combines techniques from many fields, including cognitive behavioral science, brain science, psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, molecular biology, and electrophysiology, to uncover how the brain and mind function.
The lab places importance on maintaining scientific mental health in a stressful, highly information-driven society, and aims for early detection and early treatment of brain and mind disorders caused by information overload.
It also conducts clinical research on cognitive behavioral therapy for problems such as anxiety and obsessions, as well as brain imaging research using MRI.
Key terms
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- A treatment that eases mental health problems by working on how a person perceives things and on habitual patterns of behavior
- Electrophysiology
- A method of studying how nerves and muscles function by measuring the electrical signals they produce
- Randomized controlled trial
- A research method that divides participants into two groups by chance, as if drawing lots, in order to compare the effectiveness of a treatment fairly

ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to clarify how the brain and mind function and to develop new treatments for brain and mental disorders. Its themes range widely, from developing digital technologies to brain imaging research and clinical research on cognitive behavioral therapy.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping Digital Medicine
The lab develops digital medicine, medical apps, databases, and artificial intelligence, and connects them to research in new fields such as cognitive behavioral science, brain science, psychological and psychiatric science, and health economics.
*Illustrative imageBrain Imaging Research with MRI
The lab examines images of the brain using MRI. This is a theme that can be pursued as international brain imaging research.
*Illustrative imageClinical Research on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Students learn cognitive behavioral therapy for problems such as anxiety, obsessions, depression, eating disorders, pain, insomnia, and developmental conditions, and conduct clinical research such as randomized controlled trials.
*Illustrative imageMental Health Promotion
Students learn cognitive behavioral science and mental health promotion, which spreads mental well-being throughout society.
