Neuroinformatics Lab

Yukiyasu Kamitani, Professor

0 student voices

The lab decodes what people see and dream from brain activity, connecting the brain and AI.

The Neuroinformatics Lab (Kamitani Lab) studies how the brain represents and processes information, and develops technology that reads out the contents of the mind from brain activity and makes them visible. Bridging neuroscience and AI, the lab works in four areas: brain decoding, NeuroAI, brain-machine interfaces, and brain science and art. The lab also collaborates closely with the ATR Brain Information Communication Research Laboratory.

Psychological Informatics Lab

Takatsune Kumada, Professor

0 student voices

The lab investigates how human attention and behavior work, and applies the findings to driving and support for older adults.

The Psychological Informatics Lab (Kumada-Nakashima Lab) aims to clarify the mechanisms of human cognition and behavior from an interdisciplinary perspective spanning psychology, brain science, engineering, and informatics, and to return the results to society. Among human cognitive functions, the lab focuses especially on attention and executive function, investigating their psychological mechanisms and neuroscientific foundations. Based on behavioral and cognitive psychology experiments, and also using eye movement measurement and measurement of brain function, the lab approaches the mechanisms of the brain and mind.

Cognitive Informatics Lab

Shinya Nishida, Professor

0 student voices

The lab uses experiments and AI to uncover how humans perceive the world, and applies the findings to new media technologies.

Humans perceive the outside world from signals captured by sensory organs such as the eyes, make decisions, and communicate with the people around them. The Cognitive Informatics Lab studies the information processing that underlies these human cognitive abilities, using psychological and behavioral experiments, measurement of brain activity, and computer simulation. In particular, the lab focuses on comparing the characteristics of information processing in AI (artificial neural networks) and in humans, and also develops information and communication technologies based on findings from brain and cognitive science.

Information Security (Collaborative Unit) Lab

Masayuki Abe, Visiting Professor

0 student voices

The lab supports a secure networked society through cryptography, from theory to the security of implementations.

The Information Security Lab (Abe-Tibouchi Lab) is a collaborative field launched through cooperation and partnership between Kyoto University and NTT. Research supervision is provided by NTT's Visiting Professor Masayuki Abe and Visiting Associate Professor Mehdi Tibouchi. Now that the Internet has become vital social infrastructure, information security is essential to keeping society running, and cryptography is its foundation. The lab studies a broad range, from the theory of fundamental security to proposals of applied protocols, with an eye toward post-quantum cryptography for the era of quantum computers. The lab is located in Integrated Research Building No. 7 on the Yoshida Campus, and students interested in security gather there from Japan and abroad.

Applied Analysis Lab

Jun Masamune, Professor

0 student voices

The lab develops new mathematical analysis from mathematical models of phenomena, as a research group in applied mathematics.

Applied mathematics is not merely a matter of applying pure mathematics to problems in physics and engineering; its aim is to create new mathematics through the study of mathematical models that describe phenomena. Within applied mathematics, the Applied Analysis division places emphasis on the analysis side, aiming to create new analysis while deepening the understanding of existing analysis. With "nonlinear analysis" and "inverse problem analysis" as keywords, the faculty members conduct research and education in close interaction with one another.

Applied Mathematical Modeling Lab (Collaborative Unit)

野中 洋一, Affiliated Professor

0 student voices

The lab builds mathematical models of information systems useful to society, using real examples from industry.

The Applied Mathematical Modeling field has been established since fiscal 2003 as a collaborative unit with Hitachi's research laboratories, for applied research and education on mathematical models of various industrial information systems and their optimization and control. It is run jointly with the Control Systems Theory field. Day-to-day activities take place at Kyoto University, and students visit Hitachi's research laboratories only when necessary. Lab preferences and assignment in the entrance examination are handled separately from the Control Systems Theory field.

Computational Neuroscience Lab (Collaborative Unit)

川人 光男, Affiliated Professor

0 student voices

The lab studies the computational principles of the brain through theory and experiments, and links them to the next generation of AI and brain-machine interfaces (BMI).

Computational Neuroscience (Collaborative Unit) is a collaborative unit set up with ATR, RIKEN, and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University to train people with a broad perspective on systems science. Research areas include computational neuroscience, brain-machine interfaces, information processing in local circuits, decoding of neural information, the basal ganglia and neuromodulators, and evolutionary robotics. Students are mainly supervised by faculty of the Graduate School of Informatics, and receive supplementary research guidance from collaborating faculty at the other institutions.

Text Media Lab

Shinsuke Mori, Professor

0 student voices

A lab that builds artificial intelligence that understands and explains text using language models.

The Text Media Lab (Large-Scale Text Archives Group, Academic Center for Computing and Media Studies) conducts research on artificial intelligence for language and text, centered on language models and their applications. The lab also works on information retrieval, image and language understanding, and applications to history. Its research results are not only presented at international conferences and in journals, but also used at Kyoto University's libraries and Institute for Information Management and Communication, as well as at other universities and companies.

Bio-Information Network Lab

Tatsuya Akutsu, Professor

0 student voices

A lab that reads biological networks through the power of algorithms and learning theory.

The Bio-Information Network Lab (Mathematical Bioinformatics Group, Bioinformatics Center, Institute for Chemical Research; the Akutsu Lab) focuses on bioinformatics and systems biology, mainly from the perspectives of information science and mathematical science. It carries out research and development ranging from theory to building systems that can actually be used. Its research is based on the fundamental theory of information science (algorithm theory and learning theory), so students can acquire both bioinformatics and information science at the same time. The lab is a cooperating division of the Department of Intelligence Science and Technology, Graduate School of Informatics.

Image Informatics Lab

Takuya Funatomi, Professor

0 student voices

A lab that approaches the essence of its subjects through every kind of “image,” from ordinary pictures to CT scans.

An “image” here is not limited to a color image. It refers to any pattern of information that represents the features of an object or phenomenon, such as range images, spectral images, and CT and MR images. The Image Informatics Lab (Image Analysis Group, Academic Center for Computing and Media Studies) comprehensively studies the structure, transformation, and representation of the “images” that appear in various spaces through sensors and computational processing, in order to get at the essence of its subjects.
