Spatiotemporal Sensing Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores how the brain and body work with magnetic sensors and signal processing.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the mysteries of the brain for medicine and welfare.
The Spatiotemporal Sensing Lab (Biological Function Engineering Lab) studies the remarkable functions of living organisms using cutting-edge measurement technology and applies the findings to medicine and welfare.
It focuses in particular on the human nervous system, measuring, analyzing, and imaging its function and structure noninvasively to investigate how the brain processes information at a high level.
Its research is wide-ranging, from measuring signals with magnetic sensors to computer-based analysis of sound, images, and brain signals.
Key terms
- fMRI
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging. A method that images which parts of the brain are active, from outside the body.
- Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
- A method that measures the very weak magnetic fields produced by neural activity in the brain to study how the brain works.
- Optically pumped magnetometer
- A sensor that uses laser light and atoms to measure very weak magnetic fields.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies brain function mainly through noninvasive measurement such as fMRI, magnetoencephalography (MEG), and electroencephalography (EEG), and develops new magnetic sensors and measurement methods as well as signal processing for sound and images.
*Illustrative imageMeasuring brain function from outside the body
Combining noninvasive measurements such as fMRI, MEG, and EEG with behavioral measurements such as reaction time and eye movements and with computational methods, the lab studies brain function and develops integrated measurement methods and new methods for solving inverse problems.
*Illustrative imageUltra-sensitive sensors that need no cooling
The lab studies optically pumped magnetometers, which are ultra-sensitive magnetic sensors, and develops MEG systems that need no cooling as well as systems that can measure MEG and ultra-low-field MRI simultaneously.
*Illustrative imageA new fMRI that detects the magnetic fields of neural activity
The lab is working to develop a new fMRI that can measure even at low magnetic fields and directly detects the magnetic fields produced by neural activity.
*Illustrative imageSound and image signal processing and human augmentation
To realize human information processing, from the sensory organs to the brain, on computers, the lab works on acoustic signal processing such as sound source separation and localization, image signal processing such as 3D shape estimation, brain signal processing, and signal processing that integrates them.
