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.

202404.11 What kind of social factors influence self-image establishment? (study group meeting) Posted in Event

What are the criteria by which we perceive and evaluate ourselves? And are these perceptions and evaluations objectively reasonable?
It is believed that the surrounding people and environment influence and sometimes distort our perception and evaluation of our self-image.

This study group was established with the goal of identifying what social factors are considered problematic in terms of their influence on the perception and evaluation of self-image, and what phenomena are considered problematic as distortions in the perception and evaluation of self-image, and to formulate them into a research project.
The first meeting of the study group was held on the following date.
The first meeting is limited to CogNAC members only, but a symposium that is open to other members will be held in July or later.
We will continue to announce the next and subsequent meetings on our website, so if you are interested, please feel free to join us! (Hamamoto)
