This is Ryuto Yashiro's personal page. I am a PhD student at Graduate School of Information, Science and Technology, the University of Tokyo, majoring in psychophysics and cognitive neuroscience.
My research focuses on understanding the temporal dynamics of perceptual decisions and the neural representation underlying visual perception and recognition.
For more information on my current and past research, please see my research page and CV.
What's new
2024.9 Received overseas research fellowships offered by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)!
2024.8 A paper of my first PhD project has been published in Frontiers in Neuroscience. In this paper, we used orientation ensemble judgement tasks and EEG recordings to decode when orientation ensemble perception is formed in the brain. [link]
2024.8 Finished a training course at National Institute for Physiological Sciences (NIPS). Learned how to analyze fMRI data using SPM.
2024.5 Poster presentation in VSS 2024. (Poster title: Probing unexplored areas in high-dimensional fMRI voxel space using an encoding model and image synthesis)
2024.3 Finished an internship program in NTT Human Informatics Laboratories. Had a good time deepening my knowledge on EEG decoding of image features and representational similarity analysis. (Theme: Basic study on EEG-based image synthesis)
2024.1 Poster presentation in Vision Society of Japan. (Title: Exploring high-dimensional representations of object recognition using encoding models and image synthesis [first author] / Robust object recognition in recurrent neural networks with pruning [coauthor])
2023.12 Invited talk in the doctoral symposium of Virtual Reality Educational Research Center at the University of Tokyo. This is my first time to give an invited talk. [link]
2023.9 Preprint of my first PhD project is now available in bioRxiv! (Title: Decoding time-resolved neural representations of orientation ensemble perception)
2023.5 Poster presentation in VSS 2023. (Poster title: Temporal dynamics of the visual representation of orientation ensemble perception)
