Research Areas

Experimental Psychology

1) Sense of Agency

The feeling that “I, of all people, am moving this body and influencing the world around me” is called the sense of agency. Using experimental psychological methods and computational modeling, research on this topic aims to clarify how individuals differentiate between consequences they have caused and events caused by external factors, and how this sense of agency is established.

2) Temporal Perception Changes Associated with Volitional Actions (Intentional Binding)

When individuals cause changes in the external world through their own actions, an illusion can arise where the action and its result feel temporally closer together. This research seeks to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon and its relationship with the sense of agency.
