International Christian University (ICU)
Introduction
Our laboratory seeks to uncover the fundamental principles underlying human cognition, emotion, and social interaction. We combine multimodal sensing, machine learning, and mathematical and computational modeling to understand how humans perceive, recognize, and adapt to one another and to artificial agents. We also develop assistive technologies to support diverse forms of interaction and communication.
Our priorities are to enjoy doing research and to publish our work in international academic journals.
