How do we perceive “self-image”?
researchmap
We naturally perceive and evaluate ourselves, however, it is not always accurate.
For example, people with anorexia tend to think they are overweight even though they are underweight.
My aim is to uncover perception and recognition mechanisms related to "self-image" and "body-image" through psychophysical and fMRI studies.

Reduce human disappointment.
Lab-HP (external website) / researchmap
In human society, there are various types of 'disappointments'. For instance, lamentable systems that cause human errors, and unfortunate communications that lead relationships in undesirable directions. Utilizing neuroimaging, we aim to clarify the mechanisms behind these disappointing circumstances and strive to reduce disappointment in human society.

"Reading the room" in Cognitive Science

Researchmap

We have the ability to read the room. I.e., we can subconsciously recognize a person in a bad mood in our daily conversations.
I am interested in the mechanisms of how we catch signals and process them to read the room from the multidimensional perspective as cognitive science, psychology, and computer science.

Leveraging and Enhancing Human Contributions
researchmap
The safe and continuous functioning of complex systems that support our society such as aviation, railways, electricity, and healthcare, is ensured by the contributions of operator personnel. By revealing and empowering the roles and capabilities of humans lying behind “nothing happened today” or “things went well”, we aim to realize safer systems and society.

Pursuing “Medical systems that physicians truly need.
For medical staffs, the difficulty to use medical systems is increasing, while the performances of them are improving continuously. To solve this problem, I work for construction of “medical systems that maximize the skills of medical staffs” based on biometrics as a major tool for design, development, and evaluation of systems.

Deciphering messages conveyed by bio-signals: Cryptanalysis
https://emiyuda.sakura.ne.jp/ 

Heart rate variability analysis, autonomic interpretation, and biological fluctuation research, we will gain an early understanding of the signs emitted by the body, decipher information on health and pathological conditions, and clarify the meaning of individual bio-signals. Extracting information on the activity of the cardiac autonomic nervous system (ANS), which communicates with the brain, it is useful for early screening of stress responses and diseases.

Semiconductor neural engineering is a discipline that uses semiconductor process/device/circuit technologies to further understand the properties of neural systems and to create novel fusion systems of living bodies and machines. I am interested in how artificial vision affects the brain.
