Ryota Nomura
0 student voices
The Nomura Lab is a theater cognitive science lab that measures and studies audiences watching stage performances and video. The lab records audience cognition, emotion, and bodily responses as data over time, clarifying how interaction in the theater unfolds. It captures these responses in multiple layers by combining several indicators, including facial expressions, gaze, blinking, heart rate, electrodermal activity, and posture. By integrating methods from psychology, cognitive science, and information science, the lab aims to quantitatively elucidate the sensibility (kansei) that emerges over time.
Akito Miura
0 student voices
The Miura Lab investigates the act of human dancing using scientific methods. It takes up situations where people express themselves with their bodies, such as ballet, street dance, and playing musical instruments. Through movement measurement and breathing recordings, the lab clarifies how different parts of the body are coordinated. From there, it explores how human sociality and creativity come about.
Keisuke Kadota
0 student voices
The Kadota Lab is a cognitive science lab that closely observes and studies interaction between people. The lab looks not only at spoken language but also at bodily movements such as pointing, gaze, and handing over objects. Through experiments, it tests how the choice of demonstratives such as 'kore,' 'sore,' and 'are' (roughly 'this,' 'that,' and 'that over there') changes depending on what is visible to the other person. The lab records conversations and interview situations on video and analyzes in detail how the interaction unfolds.
Yayoi Kawasaki

The Kawasaki Lab is an experimental psychology lab that investigates the mechanisms of human memory through experiments. Its main focus is false memory, in which people recall something as having happened even though they never actually saw or heard it. The lab tests, while varying conditions, what kinds of word properties make false memories more likely to occur. It also studies memories of one's own past and the memory of people who use multiple languages.
Shijun Wang
0 student voices
The Wang Lab specializes in the psychology of creativity. The psychology of creativity is a field that deals with what happens in the mind when people generate new ideas or forms of expression. Assistant Professor Wang, in the Department of Human Information Science, School of Human Sciences, conducts research in this field.
Takao Akama, Professor
0 student voices
The Akama Lab studies exercise and immunity, and anti-doping, in the field of internal medicine within sports medicine. It examines the decline in immune function after intense exercise, and how it recovers, using indicators in saliva and blood. In anti-doping, the lab deals with the rules on how medications may be used and the systems that protect athletes' health. Its research also covers responses to heat illness during exercise and changes in children's motor abilities according to their stage of growth.
Takayuki Akimoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Akimoto Lab studies at the molecular level how skeletal muscle changes in response to exercise. It investigates how the forces applied to muscle, and RNAs that do not code for proteins, change the properties of muscle. The lab aims to clarify, through the underlying mechanisms, why exercise is good for health, and also addresses links to aging and lifestyle-related diseases. It conducts many joint studies with universities in Japan and abroad, and its results are published in international journals.
Kaori Ishii, Professor
0 student voices
The Ishii Lab studies the physical activity and sedentary behavior of children and working adults based on surveys. It examines, through long-term follow-up, how sitting too much affects mental and physical health as well as academic performance. The lab focuses on the balance among time spent moving, sitting, and sleeping within the 24 hours of a day. Its findings are applied to how health education and health promotion are carried out.
Koichiro Oka, Professor
0 student voices
The Oka Lab studies methods of supporting lifestyle improvement for people of all ages, from children to older adults. It focuses in particular on building habits of physical activity and on measures to reduce prolonged sitting. The lab explores ways to promote behavior change through both psychological approaches and improvements to the surrounding environment. It aims to return its research results to society in the form of community building, people development, and product development.
Junichi Okada, Professor
0 student voices
The Okada Lab studies the science of resistance training (strength training). It uses a variety of instruments to measure force, power, and muscle fatigue during training and express them as numerical data. The lab also investigates how force is produced in weightlifting and the relationship between change-of-direction speed and muscular strength. It also conducts research on coaching to develop snowboarders and weightlifters.
