Nagamine Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that clarifies how stress works, from both the mind and the body.

AboutAbout the lab
Know stress, and put it to use!
The Nagamine Lab clarifies the mechanisms of stress through psychophysiological research.
Moving away from the view that "stress is bad," the lab begins by first understanding stress.
The lab works on stress assessment based on the secretion rhythm of salivary cortisol, and on evaluating the effects of stress management education.
The lab believes that understanding what stress really is leads to understanding oneself.
