Nobuyuki Kawai, Professor
0 student voices
The Comparative Cognitive Science Lab studies the workings of the mind in humans and animals (primates) using biological methods. By comparing human and animal behavior, the lab identifies the distinctive features of the human mind and what it shares with animals. The lab also investigates the physiological mechanisms behind feelings of anger and fear, using brain waves (EEG) and responses of the heart and blood vessels, such as blood pressure and heart rate, as clues. Currently, the lab also studies brain activity while people play computer games, as well as psychology in virtual environments.
Xianwei Meng, Associate Professor

The Social Cognitive Science Lab studies the cognitive foundations that underlie human social behavior and psychology, and the process by which they form. The lab conducts cognitive science experiments with infants, young children, and adults. It focuses on all kinds of social phenomena, including human relationships, understanding of others, cooperative behavior, and stereotypes.
Hideki Ohira, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Hideki Ohira of the Psychology Division studies emotion, stress, and decision-making. The lab's research fields are experimental psychology, psychophysiology, and cognitive neuroscience. The lab investigates the neural and physiological bases that underlie the processing and regulation of emotion.
Hiroki Tanabe, Professor

The Cognitive Neuroscience Lab studies the psychological and neural mechanisms of social interaction, focusing on two people who are actually interacting. Using EEG, MRI, eye trackers, and other tools, the lab simultaneously records the brain activity and behavior of two people who exchange gazes and words. In collaboration with other researchers, the lab also continues research that estimates the shape of the brains of human ancestors from fossil skulls. The lab belongs to the Psychology Division, Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science, Graduate School of Informatics, Nagoya University.
Shinji Kitagami, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Kitagami Lab studies how people understand and remember, through memory, eyewitness testimony, metacognition, motivation, and design such as pictograms. From basic cognitive psychology to applied research related to education, design, and consumer behavior, the lab tests its ideas with experiments and data. The lab is part of the Psychology Division, Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science, Graduate School of Informatics, Nagoya University. Graduate and undergraduate students pursue research in cognitive psychology based on their own interests.
Masahiro Hirai, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Hirai Lab studies, from the standpoint of developmental cognitive neuroscience, how people understand others and act within society. Focusing on the interaction among body, brain, and environment, the lab aims to clarify the mechanisms underlying the development of social cognition, individual differences, and neurodiversity. Its research so far has centered on understanding others' movements, infant learning, perspective-taking, and comparisons between autism spectrum disorder and Williams syndrome. Currently, the lab aims to build a unified theory of human social cognition from the perspectives of predictive coding and embodiment.
Tomoko Isomura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Tomoko Isomura of the Psychology Division works in the fields of cognitive science, developmental psychology, and physiological psychology. Her research keywords are interaction, development, physiological psychology, embodied cognition, and social cognition. She belongs to the Psychology Division of the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science, Graduate School of Informatics, Nagoya University. Her past publications can be checked in the Nagoya University researcher directory.
Ryota Takano, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Takano Lab studies how people overcome change and come to harmonize and coexist in a rapidly changing society. Covering a wide range of topics, from individual cognition and emotion to trends across society as a whole, the lab aims to clarify the dynamics of mind and society across multiple levels. Its basic approach is psychological experiments and surveys grounded in theoretical consideration, and its distinctive feature is combining them with natural language processing, machine learning, functional brain imaging, and physiological response measurement. Recently, the lab has put particular emphasis on psychology and cognitive science research that makes use of large language models.
Masashi Tachikawa, Professor
0 student voices
The faculty members from the Graduate School of Environmental Studies who teach in the Department of Human and Social Information Studies research food and agriculture, governance of science and technology, the environment, and local communities from a sociological perspective. Prof. Maruyama's lab, which has its own introductory website, addresses issues related to the relationship between humans and nature in a broad sense, as well as sustainability. Graduate students conduct research applying methods from environmental sociology, historical sociology, environmental history, and science and technology studies (STS).
