*Illustrative imageWhat Is Altruism?
The wish to help others can sometimes become an imposition. The lab reconsiders altruism not as a matter of one person's "heart" but as a "mechanism" in which mutual help arises spontaneously, and examines it through settings such as nursing and technology.
*Illustrative imageExploring Bodily Differences through the Senses
How people see, hear, and move differs from person to person. By visiting exhibitions on disability and medical settings, the lab aims to broaden the concept of disability through forms of expression that share bodily differences through the senses.
