Keisuke Kushiro, Professor

The Behavioral Control Lab studies the mechanisms of human sensation, cognition, and movement. Human body movements are produced by unconscious control so that they are carried out accurately and energy-efficiently. Through behavioral experiments, the lab quantifies body movements and explores the mechanisms of the control system underlying them. It investigates the effects of gravity on movement, the perception of space under gravity, and collective strategies in sports.
Motoki Kouzaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Kouzaki Lab studies how humans produce diverse movements, in terms of the activity of muscles and the central nervous system. The central nervous system is thought to simplify an enormous amount of information to generate optimal movements. The lab investigates this seemingly contradictory motor control using physiological experiments, behavioral control experiments, and mathematical methods such as simulation. Experiments and journal clubs are conducted together with the Motor Control Lab.
Yutaka Komura, Professor
0 student voices
The Komura Lab studies how the mind arises, based on the workings of the brain. As artificial intelligence advances, the lab pursues its research in connection with the questions of how natural intelligence and artificial intelligence will come to terms with each other, and what intelligence is in the first place. The lab works on the mechanisms of consciousness and unconsciousness, brain rhythms and self-organization, meta-learning and causal inference, cross-species comparison and neural networks, and more. It is a lab that considers humans by comparing them with animals and machines, and its members include people who like living things, mathematical and information sciences, making things, and design.
Jun Saiki, Professor

The Vision Science Lab (Saiki Lab) studies the mechanisms of human visual information processing involved in recognizing objects, other people, scenes, and events in the world. Lab members work on themes such as value-driven attention, aesthetic judgment, ensemble perception, visual working memory, and visual search.
Yasuko Funabiki, Professor
0 student voices
The Funabiki Lab studies how states of the human mind relate to development from early childhood, environment, personality, traits, and cognitive mechanisms. It aims to detect this academically as evidence that does not rely on subjective or momentary judgment, and to work toward contributing fairly to many people. The lab works on developmental disorders, cohort studies tracking the development of infants and young children, brain function research, and mental health, including collaboration and joint research with other labs. The lab welcomes people who will work together, with a strong sense of ethics and from various angles, on the delicate issue of "the human mind."
Shota Hagio, Associate Professor

The Motor Control and Learning Lab (Hagio Lab) studies how humans produce movements (motor control) and how they acquire new movements (motor learning). Its research covers all everyday movements, including sports and playing musical instruments. The lab combines behavioral experiments, physiological experiments, and simulations using mathematical models. It also investigates how people learn new movements and how a microgravity environment that simulates space affects body movement.
Setsuko Nakajima, Professor
0 student voices
Nakajima Lab studies the history and present of cities and architecture. It investigates how infrastructure such as city blocks, streets, and waterways, the buildings constructed on them, and the natural environments surrounding and within cities were formed, and what kinds of landscapes and images they have created. The lab examines the historical process and mechanisms behind this formation from the perspectives of social and cultural background, technology, and ideas. It also works to conserve and make use of existing historic environments, linking this to community development and the regeneration of local communities.
Masahiro Maeda, Professor
0 student voices
Maeda Lab studies contemporary cities and regions, focusing on how people live in each region and place, and on the forms of housing and community. The lab values in-depth fieldwork experience and aims at practical research (action research) through dialogue and collaboration with people directly involved on site, such as residents, local governments, and businesses. Students conduct research in fields in Japan and abroad, on topics such as the use of vacant houses and local communities, the resilience of small regional cities, and the connections between remote islands and cities.
Takuya Matsumoto, Associate Professor

The Psychopathology and Psychoanalysis Lab studies psychopathology, psychoanalysis (especially the French Lacanian school), pathography, the history of psychiatry, and contemporary French thought. Students in the Faculty of Integrated Human Studies can write their graduation thesis in this lab. During the semester, the lab holds a lab seminar every week, and volunteers also run reading groups for German and French texts. The lab is open to people building their experience in clinical settings, such as physicians and psychologists, and it also offers study sessions for clinicians.
