Yamashita Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies microalgal cells using light and also measures brain waves during artistic activities.
AboutAbout the lab
Observing cells with light and measuring artistic activity.
The Yamashita Lab studies microalgal cells using light, efficient culture of Euglena, and measurement of brain waves during artistic activities.
The lab is developing culture methods for Euglena that use components found in food, as well as a method of determining whether cells are alive or dead using natural pigments.
The lab also conducts research that scientifically analyzes the state of people engaged in Steiner education, music therapy, and other artistic activities, using brain waves, heart rate, and other measurements.
This is the lab of Lecturer Kyohei Yamashita of the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science Division I, Tokyo University of Science.
Key terms
- Euglena
- A type of microalga. This lab studies methods for growing it and producing functional components using components found in food
- Absorption spectroscopic imaging
- A method of examining the light absorption spectrum (the strength of absorption at each wavelength) at each location inside a single cell
- Non-invasive
- Examining cells without damaging them. The lab aims to determine whether cells are alive or dead by a method that does no harm to them
ResearchResearch themes
This lab studies methods for efficiently growing Euglena, a microalga, and methods for analyzing single cells with light. It also studies the state of people engaged in artistic activities using brain waves and other measurements.
*Illustrative imageEuglena Production and Cell Analysis
The lab aims to develop methods for efficiently growing Euglena and producing functional components, using components found in food. It uses absorption spectroscopic imaging to analyze the local absorption spectra of individual cells.
*Illustrative imageScientific Analysis of States During Artistic Activities
The lab scientifically analyzes the states of both practitioners and subjects while they take part in Steiner education, sound art, and other artistic activities. Measurements include brain waves, body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate.
*Illustrative imageDetermining Cell Viability with Natural Pigments
The lab aims to develop a non-invasive method of determining whether cells are alive or dead, using safe and inexpensive natural pigments. It searches for natural pigments that can be used with high sensitivity and non-invasively under varying temperature and pH conditions.
