Future Plan

In order to provide effective support methods to those in need of rehabilitation, a profound understanding of human adaptation mechanisms based on neuroscience and cognitive science is necessary. In our laboratory, we attempt to understand the mechanisms of human adaptation through the investigation of neural activity and cognitive characteristics. I would like to conduct research across basic research on healthy individuals and clinical research on patients with neurological diseases in order to provide effective rehabilitation.

Messages to Students

With curiosity as our motivating force, let's work together to conduct exciting research that will open up new possibilities for the future.
