A lab that uses EEG to explore how the brain distinguishes self from others.

Under Assistant Professor SHIN Nakyeong of the Division of Human Life Design at the Faculty of Design, the lab specializes in Kansei science and physiological psychology. Using EEG, the lab investigates how the ability to distinguish self from others appears in brain activity. The key clue is the mirror system, which is active both when performing an action and when watching one. Recently, the lab has presented findings on how brain activity during self–other discrimination differs between adults and children.
