The lab measures human senses and the brain to improve the affinity between people and machines.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the relationship between people and machines through senses and the brain
The Yoshida Lab (Applied Brain Science Lab) studies how to apply brain science to engineering.
The lab investigates human senses and brain function, aiming to improve the affinity between people and machines from the standpoint of the user's experience.
Its research keywords include vision, touch, teleoperation, and virtual reality.
Key terms
- Psychophysics
- The study of the relationship between the physical intensity of a stimulus and the intensity of the sensation people perceive, measured through experiments
- Functional brain imaging
- A method of studying the activity of a working brain by turning it into images, using equipment such as fMRI
- Sensory substitution devices
- Devices that convey a lost sense or hard-to-see information by converting it into another sense, such as touch

ResearchResearch themes
By linking brain science and psychology with the scientific principles of physical phenomena, the lab aims to develop advanced technologies that underpin industry and to improve the affinity between humans and machines. Its research ranges from measuring and visualizing human senses, to technologies that present sensations, to exploring how devices feel to use.
*Illustrative imageMeasuring and visualizing senses
Using psychophysical measurement methods and functional brain imaging, the lab clarifies how human senses and brain activity correspond to the physical world.
*Illustrative imageTechnologies that present sensations
The lab designs new sensations and experiences, using tools such as virtual reality and sensory substitution devices.
*Illustrative imageDevices that feel natural to use
The lab controls the feeling of operating a device as if it were part of one's own body, and optimizes how devices feel to use and how safe they are. It also explores the opposite: a feel of use that deliberately does not blend in.
MembersFaculty
The members of the Yoshida Lab consist of faculty, postdoctoral researchers, undergraduate students, research assistants, and support staff.As of 2026
