Kentaro Yamamoto, Associate Professor

The lab experimentally studies the mental processes that give rise to people's subjective perception and behavior, mainly through the lens of time. Through research on the evaluation of elapsed time, the temporal integration of sensory information, and the perception of motion, the lab aims to uncover the mental foundations that support people's stable experience. The lab's website presents a wide range of research topics by alumni of its undergraduate and graduate programs, such as the relationship between impressions of people and color images, and the relationship between the emotion of cuteness and the useful field of view.

The lab conducts psychological investigations on themes such as the formation of psychological time, space, and number, revulsion and happiness, and attention and consciousness. The lab also lists laterality, emotion, personality traits, embodiment, insect eating, and animal-related and ethnicity-related themes. It also deals with related issues such as the replicability problem in psychology, problems in science communication, and problems with online experiments. Associate Professor Yuki Yamada belongs to the Faculty of Arts and Science and holds a concurrent appointment in the Department of Behavioral Systems, Graduate School of Human-Environment Studies.

The lab scientifically investigates the implicit and explicit processes in human perception, cognition, and action. Recent projects examine the implicit and explicit processes of sequence learning, and how the consequences of actions (action effects) influence the way the sense of agency arises and changes. Using methods from experimental psychology and cognitive science, the lab also studies crossmodal correspondences, crossmodal phenomena, and response facilitation and inhibition. The lab is recruiting research students from inside and outside the university, as well as applicants hoping to enter the master's or doctoral program.
Wakako Sanefuji, Associate Professor

The lab studies, from the perspective of developmental psychology, how babies' understanding and behavior develop over time. Its questions are how babies view themselves and others, and from what age and in what way they come to understand the unseen “mind.” The lab carries out research and practical activities that also take individual differences in development and developmental support into view, such as methods for identifying children with developmental difficulties early and aspects of development promoted through interaction with others.

The lab studies the theory and application of the statistical methods used in developing psychological tests. The statistical methods it is interested in are item response models using latent variables, factor analysis models, and structural equation modeling. In applied research, it focuses on developing test systems that use item response models, especially computerized adaptive testing.

The lab studies the mechanisms underlying various kinds of physical exercise, with the aims of maintaining and improving health and enhancing athletic performance. As an example, it examines physiological responses during walking and running. Associate Professor Kenji Masumoto teaches courses including exercise prescription, exercise physiology, and environmental adaptation at the Graduate School of Human-Environment Studies.
Hiro Kishimoto, Associate Professor

The Kishimoto Lab conducts research that contributes to people living lives full of vitality. Broadly, its research covers two areas: the effects of promoting exercise and healthy habits on long-term care prevention and frailty prevention in older adults, and the lifestyle habits that help university students have a meaningful campus life. The lab has established follow-up study fields (cohorts) among older community residents and university students, and conducts lifestyle questionnaire surveys and health measurements. Graduate students, research students, and lab staff with diverse backgrounds, including physical therapists, occupational therapists, exercise instructors, and yoga instructors, are part of the lab.
Ki-Seok Yoon, Associate Professor

The Yoon Lab develops new enzyme catalysts that efficiently catalyze small molecules (hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water) and analyzes their biochemical properties. The lab is developing highly efficient and selective CO2 hydrogenation reactions by fusing hydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase, a combination that outperforms platinum catalysts. The lab also isolates a light-harvesting antenna protein (phycocyanin) from a new thermophilic cyanobacterium and is developing a visible-light-responsive hydroxylation system. The lab's website introduces it as a lab of the International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research at Kyushu University.
Tetsuya Nakanishi, Associate Professor

The Ore Deposit Geology Lab (Nakanishi Lab) studies ore deposits, based on trace element analysis of rocks using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Applying the background and research methods of ore deposit geology and resources engineering to the history of technology, the lab scientifically verifies the historical mining and smelting technologies of mines in Japan. Overseas, the lab is studying orogenic gold deposits in Mongolia and porphyry copper deposits in northeastern Cambodia. Associate Professor Tetsuya Nakanishi belongs to the University Museum and holds a concurrent appointment in the Department of Earth Resources Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering.
Akinori Ozaki, Associate Professor

The lab studies enclosed water bodies such as lakes, reservoirs, and aquaculture ponds, working to clarify how fluid phenomena within these waters relate to water quality changes, heavy metal contamination, and diseases in aquatic systems. In recent years, the lab has also used ICT equipment for image monitoring and image analysis of aquatic environments to detect environmental changes and visualize signs of anomalies. The lab conducts on-site observation and sampling of changes in water environments in Thailand, Vietnam, and Bangladesh. Associate Professor Akinori Ozaki belongs to the International Development Division of the Tropical Agriculture Research Center, and his specialty is environmental hydraulics and water quality science.
