Bonding (the emotional bond from parent to child) and parent-child interactions are formed by a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and sociological factors. The mechanisms, including gender differences, are not yet clearly understood. We will explore the neurological bases related to parental emotions and cognition in the early postpartum period and the formation process of bonding, and aim to generate evidence that leads to family well-being.

I educate chaplains, and my speciality is spiritual care, religious care, and grief care. The stress-reducing effect of listening to sutras has been proven, but the mechanism needs to be elucidated.

Well-being through goal achievement support tailored to diverse personalities. And
communities for wellbeing with a focus on children, women, and the elderly

https://neurocog.is.tohoku.ac.jp/

The objective of our laboratory is to develop effective techniques for personalized support that encourage behavioral change and promote brain plasticity in individuals pursuing their goals. This includes acquiring new skills, mastering learning, and maintaining healthy behaviors. Our plan is to establish predictive models that can visualize and characterize diverse individuals based on brain structural differences and biological information. These models will be constructed using machine learning and deep learning on multimodal images obtained from functional brain imaging, such as MRI. Our objective is to apply biometric information, IoT technology, and behavioral economics theory to create an optimization-goal achievement support system.Furthermore, it pursues building a community that promotes the well-being of children, women, and the elderly in an aging society with a declining birthrate. Our goal is to establish a "WELL Community," a community where individuals who believe in the importance of looking after children can come together to learn and support one another in achieving a state of well-being that encompasses mental and physical health, happiness, and a sense of accomplishment.

"Universal Design in Language Use"
Without any special disabilities, all humans learn to freely use language within a few years after birth. This is because our brains are naturally equipped with mechanisms for acquiring and using language from the moment we are born. I am studying this fascinating brain function that allows us to speak and understand speech. What constitutes clear and understandable language expressions for the human brain? What kind of language expressions are easy to use for everyone, including adult native speakers, children, the elderly, foreign language learners, individuals with autism, and aphasia patients? In other words, I am aiming to uncover the principles of universal design in language use.

I would like to understand what happens in the brain and body when people fall into a mental disorder or recover from the condition from multiple perspectives, including brain imaging research, and use the knowledge to help improve mental health.

Astronomy is the science of space. Geology is the science of the earth. Similarly, psychology is one of the sciences of human nature.

In contrast to brain science, which focuses on the structure of the hardware (brain), psychology is a science that focuses on the applications that run on the hardware. I hope that they will develop in a complementary manner.
