Risa Suzuki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Suzuki Lab studies how to measure body movement and muscle activity and apply the results to rehabilitation and health management. The lab's fields are health management science and physical therapy science, and its main methods are biofeedback and eye tracking. The lab has investigated how feeding back to individuals their daily movement, measured with activity monitors, changes their daily lives and feelings. The lab also conducts research on education for healthcare professionals, including how therapists can develop a trained eye for observing movement.
Maiko Takahashi, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab studies how people read, write, and learn, from the standpoints of educational psychology and cognitive science. The lab has worked to clarify what elements make up "Easy Japanese" (yasashii nihongo), Japanese that can be understood by more people. The lab also proposes a program that uses generative AI to improve document-writing skills and tests its effectiveness. As part of the Iwabuchi Lab, the lab also takes part in research on assistive technology.
Yuko Kachi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kachi Lab studies children's health and welfare using the methods of public health and social epidemiology. The lab examines how social conditions, such as a household's economic situation and parents' work patterns, relate to children's health. Its work centers on analyzing large datasets, such as municipal surveys on living conditions and government statistics, with statistical methods. The findings are also delivered to national and local governments to inform policies on children.
Junko Ichino
0 student voices
The Ichino Lab studies human-computer interaction, a field that deals with the interaction between people and computers. Through experiments, the lab examines how the way people speak and the way they perceive what others say change in conversations held through new means such as virtual spaces and video calls. The lab also works on building systems that support discussion and collaboration, and it includes interaction between people and robots in its research.
Maki Kato, Professor
0 student voices
The Kato Lab studies how to measure safety and efficiency in human activities using ergonomics methods. The lab identifies issues in real-world settings such as road traffic, aviation, factories, parks, and housing, then measures and evaluates them quantitatively. In addition to ergonomics and industrial engineering, the lab conducts many studies related to cognitive psychology and social psychology. The lab focuses on small everyday errors and aims to improve quality of life by reducing them.
Hideaki Kikuchi
0 student voices
The Kikuchi Lab studies communication through language and voice based on data. Its subjects are the language media that support human life, ranging from conversation and social media to conversational robots and dialogue interfaces. The lab works on both language science and artificial intelligence, without being bound by the divide between the humanities and the sciences. The lab also works on using virtual reality to support the training of communication skills.
Qun Jin, Professor
0 student voices
The Jin Lab (Network Information Systems Lab) studies how to understand human beings using big data and AI. From comprehensive data analysis, the lab builds a personal model of each individual and applies it to healthcare and learning support tailored to that person. The lab's guiding principles are "Technology for the Common Good of Humanity" and "Computing for Human Well-being." Through convergent research that crosses disciplines, the lab takes on global challenges such as climate change and a declining birthrate and aging population.
Kenji Kurakata
0 student voices
The Kurakata Lab (Ergonomics of Aging Lab) studies how human senses change with age. In particular, it clarifies age-related changes in hearing through psychological experiments and sound measurements. The results are applied to the design of alert sounds and voice guidance in products, and of sounds in everyday living environments. The lab aims to create products that are easy for everyone to use regardless of age, and living environments where people can live with peace of mind.
Hiroshi Fujimoto
0 student voices
The Fujimoto Lab is a assistive technology lab that studies how the human body and senses work and applies this to making products that help in daily life. It begins by measuring fingertip touch and lower-limb movement and expressing their characteristics quantitatively. The findings are applied to how to make tactile graphics that people with visual impairments read by touch, and to the design of interfaces that use skin sensation. The lab also works on developing devices useful for rehabilitation.
Tatsunori Matsui, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsui Lab (the Knowledge Information Science Lab) studies human intelligence and sensibility, as well as learning and education. Its research starts from questions such as what Kansei is and how knowledge is acquired. It combines two approaches: analytically investigating how these phenomena actually work, and building computational models and support technologies. A defining feature of its research style is the use of mathematical statistics and artificial intelligence techniques.
