Hiroko Nishida, Professor
0 student voices
The Nishida Lab studies music theory and analysis, as well as their cultural backgrounds. In particular, the lab works on how Western music theory was received in modern Japan, and on the history of music theory, centered on Germany and Austria. In addition, the lab examines the relationship between music content and management in various forms of contemporary music culture. The lab belongs to the Acoustic Design Division of the Faculty of Design.
Gerard Bastiaan Remijn, Professor
0 student voices
The Perceptual Psychology Lab (Gerard Bastiaan Remijn) specializes in perceptual psychology. Its faculty member belongs to the Acoustic Design Course of the School of Design, and to the Acoustic Design Course of the Department of Design in the Graduate School of Design. In the Faculty of Design, the professor is listed as a faculty member of the Acoustic Design Division.
Kazuhiko Kawahara, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Kazuhiko Kawahara studies how to evaluate the performance of acoustic systems, including loudspeakers. In recent years, loudspeakers based on different principles from conventional ones have been proposed, and the lab is investigating measurement methods to evaluate their performance appropriately. The lab also works on transmitting applause to enhance the sense of presence in live viewing, and on developing curricula for ear training, which cultivates the ability to discriminate between sounds. The associate professor is a faculty member in the Acoustic Design Course of the School of Design and of the Graduate School of Design.
Kazuhiro Jo, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Media Art Lab conducts practice-based research centered on making artworks, with a background in acoustics and interaction design. The lab engages critically with media technology and, as one example of humanizing technology, explores forms of expression that go beyond demonstrating new technologies. Its projects include a musical instrument grown from mycelium, as well as collaborative work such as visual expression using bioluminescent bacteria and a system that connects people with a nukadoko.
Katsuya Yamauchi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The psychoacoustics lab of Associate Professor Katsuya Yamauchi studies environmental noise and sound design, approaching them through people's psychological responses to sounds they hear and their perceptual evaluation of those sounds. Recently, the lab has been especially interested in how future cars should sound, and focuses on research into the sounds of next-generation vehicles such as electric and hybrid vehicles. Prediction of road traffic noise and the design of signal sounds are also research subjects.
Yukiyasu Yoshinaga, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Yukiyasu Yoshinaga's lab studies how computers recognize lines in images. The lab investigates a line recognition method that is unaffected by contrast, based on the distribution of orientations of luminance gradient vectors. It applies this method to medical images and is also building computer-aided diagnosis systems.
Naohisa Inoe, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The Architectural Acoustics Lab conducts research and education on the sound absorption and sound insulation of materials, in the fields of architectural acoustics and computational acoustics. The lab belongs to the Acoustic Design Course in the Faculty of Design and is led by Assistant Professor Naohisa Inoe. Its research themes are developing methods for measuring the performance of acoustic materials, and developing acoustic materials and structures.
Mizuki Somura, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
Assistant Professor Mizuki Somura analyzes traditional Japanese music, especially modern biwa music (Satsuma biwa and Chikuzen biwa). The lab also studies how music spread in modern Japan through sound media such as radio broadcasting and records. In classes, Assistant Professor Somura teaches subjects on music and sound outside Western music, such as Japanese music history, Asian music history, and ethnomusicology.
Emi Hasuo, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The cognitive science lab of Assistant Professor Emi Hasuo conducts research to clarify the mechanisms of "rhythm perception (time perception)," which underlies communication through spoken language and music. One of its current themes is examining how the beat affects rhythm perception. The lab also studies assimilation and contrast between adjacent time intervals, and individual differences in how the filled-duration illusion appears. Recently, through joint research, it has also been working on auditory research, such as whether alternating sounds are heard as a single stream or split into two.
Tomoko Hojo, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Assistant Professor Tomoko Hojo centers on experimental music and sound art, studying voice, silence, and the sounds of place. Its themes are the politics of the voice in screaming, voice, silence, and the body, and the memory and listening of place. Alongside its research, the lab also presents works in Japan and abroad. In education, the lab emphasizes a perspective that considers sound in connection with the body, place, memory, and social context.
