Here, we will apply computer science technology and knowledge domains to solve the mysteries of human perception, cognition, and affective computing. We are interested in illusory perception, neuromarketing, mental health diagnosis, and image classification.
In a rapidly evolving technological world, user-centered design, cognitive engineering, and affective computing are essential to ensure technology is intuitive, efficient, and inclusive.
Applied Perception and Engineering focuses on the intersection of perceptual understanding and engineering by emphasizing the practical application of human perception, sensory processing, and cognition principles in engineering.
The research area includes, but is not limited to
Perception study: to uncover insights into human perception, providing a foundation for engineering solutions and driving innovation in user experience.
Human-Centered Design: to integrate knowledge of human perception into engineering design processes. For example, by optimizing the design of products, interfaces, and systems to align with human sensory capabilities and cognitive processes.
Sensory Perception and Emotions: to leverage our understanding of how people perceive the world to enhance the recognition and interpretation of emotions in technology.
Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR): Understanding human perceptual abilities, such as visual and auditory processing, can be applied to develop immersive virtual and augmented reality by creating realistic and engaging simulations.
Cognitive Engineering: Applying principles of cognitive psychology and human factors engineering to design systems and interfaces that align with human cognitive processes and limitations.
Our lab celebrates diversity and recognizes the unique perspectives each individual brings. Our culture is grounded in open-mindedness, curiosity, and a commitment to growth. We believe that by embracing diversity and fostering a collaborative mindset, we can achieve great things together.
Our primary language of communication is English, enabling international students to work and collaborate effectively. The professor can also speak Japanese, so Japanese students can communicate in either language as they prefer. It is also a great opportunity to improve their English communication skills through daily discussions and research activities.
