Research Areas
Brain Mechanisms Underlying Motor and Cognitive Learning
1) Changes in Brain Activity according to Learning
When humans are placed in new environments, they learn various things, alter their behavior patterns, and adapt to the environment. My research focuses on elucidating the brain mechanisms involved in cognitive and motor learning, as well as developing technologies to support learning and adaptation.
2) Brain Networks Supporting Cognitive Functions
The human brain constitutes a vast information network. Higher-order cognitive functions unique to humans, such as language, thought, memory, and tool use, are supported by this network. My research aims to clarify the relationship between brain networks and cognitive functions.
