PARK Joonha, Associate Professor

The Social Cognition and Cultural Psychology Lab studies how the culture, society, and ecological environment in which people live shape the workings of the mind. Mainly from the perspectives of cultural psychology and cross-cultural psychology, the lab aims to clarify both the diversity and the commonalities of psychology across different societies. The lab does not treat culture as a mere matter of differences between countries. It is interested in the mental processes involved when people build relationships with others, adapt to society, and make sense of the society around them. Beyond the lab's existing projects, it also places importance on students formulating their own new questions and developing their own research.

The Clinical Psychology Course aims to deepen practical knowledge and theory for approaching problems of the mind, human beings, and society through theory, practice, and empirical research in clinical psychology. Instead of separate labs led by individual professors, the course as a whole supervises graduate students. Faculty research areas include psychotherapy based on Jungian psychology, images and psychic experience, psychoanalysis and supervision, and psychotherapy in adolescence. Some faculty members also study the relationship between social change and psychological trends, creativity in clinical practice, the giving of meaning to painful experiences, and the relationship between those who provide support and those who receive it.

The Vision Science Lab studies human sensation and perception, centered on vision, using the methods of experimental psychology. Perceptual phenomena such as visual illusions are analyzed through psychophysical experiments and considered together with measurements of brain function using fMRI and other methods. Assistant Professor Daiki Yamasaki's research areas are vision, audition, and multisensory perception. Research themes have been decided to match students' interests, but themes that are related to visual perception in some way are expected.
Hika Kuroshima, Professor

The Comparative Cognitive Science Lab compares how the mind works across the diverse animal species alive today, in order to understand the diversity of minds and trace the path of their evolution. Professor Hika Kuroshima studies social cognition, emotion, metacognition, and self- and other-understanding in monkeys, birds, rodents, and companion animals. Kyoto University CAMP (Companion Animal Mind Project), which explores the minds of dogs and cats, is recruiting pet owners and others willing to help with its surveys.
Yusuke Moriguchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Moriguchi Lab's mission is to clarify the differences between the cognitive worlds of children and adults, and to examine and support the development of cognition and sociality that leads to children's futures. So far, the lab has studied the development of executive function, emotion regulation, imagination, visual awareness, and creativity in infants, young children, and school-age children. It uses methods from developmental psychology and developmental cognitive neuroscience, including behavioral observation, behavioral experiments, eye tracking, and physiological and brain function measurements. The lab is recruiting graduate students interested in developmental psychology, cognitive development, and brain development, including those from diverse backgrounds such as linguistics, biology, engineering, and mathematics.
WILSON Duncan, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Wilson Lab uses experimental methods from human psychology to study the relationship between cognition and emotion in non-human primates. Its fields are comparative psychology, primatology, ethology, and animal welfare, with attention, face recognition, and facial expressions as key research topics. Duncan Wilson, Lecturer, teaches courses on comparative psychology and on primate behavior and cognition. Students join this lab at the graduate level, conducting research as graduate students in the Psychology Program of the Graduate School of Letters.
Nobuhito Abe, Professor

The Abe Lab focuses on the psychological and neural mechanisms of human decision-making. Centered on imaging of brain function and structure with fMRI and other methods, and on neuropsychological studies of patients with brain damage, the lab also combines behavioral experiments and field studies. Focusing on human decision-making, the lab covers a broad range of topics including sociality and morality, and aims to take a multifaceted approach that is not bound by disciplinary boundaries. Students join this lab at the graduate level. It accepts graduate students in the Psychology Program of the Graduate School of Letters, where Prof. Abe serves as a cooperating faculty member.
Takeshi Yamazaki, Associate Professor

This is a zooarchaeology lab interested in the history of how people have used animals, studied through the analysis of animal bones excavated from archaeological sites. Focusing on ancient capitals such as Heijo-kyo and Fujiwara-kyo, the lab also hopes to carry out research in environmental archaeology, exploring how people of the time interacted with the natural environment. The lab is part of the cooperative program in Cultural Heritage Studies at the Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies, and its research is conducted at the Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties. Students join this lab at the graduate level.
Akira Miyake, Professor

The Mineralogy Lab studies the formation and evolution of the Earth and the solar system by analyzing terrestrial minerals and meteorites and conducting experiments. By analyzing minerals down to the nanometer scale and combining experiments under both terrestrial and space conditions, the lab aims to clarify the raw materials and evolutionary processes of the solar system. Its research targets also include meteorites that fell from space and extraterrestrial materials brought back by spacecraft such as Hayabusa2. For graduate study, the lab accepts entrants to the master's program and transfer students into the doctoral program, regardless of the university or faculty they come from. The lab holds a research presentation session once a week and also conducts joint lab seminars with other universities. The lab has multiple faculty members with different areas of expertise, and students can receive supervision from different faculty members as needed. Lab visits are accepted at any time, and students can visit from their first year as undergraduates.
Daisaku Nogami, Associate Professor

The Stellar Physics Lab (Nogami Lab) investigates a wide range of activity phenomena in stars using multiwavelength observations, including visible light and X-rays. In addition to explosive phenomena in binary systems such as cataclysmic variables and X-ray binaries, the lab conducts observational research on superflares on Sun-like stars. Using the 3.8 m Seimei Telescope and the 40 cm telescope at the Okayama Observatory of Kyoto University, the lab carries out high-time-resolution observations of transient phenomena.
