Mayuka Kono is a Ph.D. student at Cybernetics & Reality Engineering Lab, Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) under the supervisor of Prof. Kiyoshi Kiyokawa.
Research Interests: Computational Psycholinguistics, Computational Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Neuro Science xR, HRI
I aim to reveal the linguistic cognitive mechanisms of children with atypical development and to develop devices for assisting communication, learning, and so on.
I plan to enter another graduate school to study my interests more technically in computational psycholinguistics after graduating from NAIST.
