ResearchResearch themes
Based on signal processing, Tanaka Lab studies techniques for analyzing data on networks, biological, neural, and behavioral data, and data obtained from sensors. The research page introduces graph signal processing, analysis of biological, neural, and behavioral data, and ultra-smart sensing.
*Illustrative imageGraph Signal Processing
The lab studies signal processing and machine learning techniques for analyzing data on networks with complex structures, such as sensor networks, social networks, and brain networks.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of Biological, Neural, and Behavioral Data
Using signal processing and machine learning, the lab extracts meaningful information from biological, neural, and behavioral data. With EEG, it studies applications to brain-computer interfaces; with behavioral data, it studies the behavioral principles of living organisms by building artificial intelligence that imitates the behavior of humans and animals.
*Illustrative imageUltra-Smart Sensing for Sensor Data
The lab studies data compression and sampling for efficiently recording and analyzing the diverse big data obtained from general-purpose sensors such as IoT sensors. The field combines noise removal, predictive control, compression, sampling, and reconstruction.
