Laboratory/research office	Vision and Affective Science Integrated Laboratory (Focused Lab.)[VASIL(FL).SI&RI.KUT] It is currently very difficult to understand the complex information processing of the human brain because of the comprehensiveness and abstractness of the process in addition to various psychological affects, related factors, etc. that influence this process. Therefore, as a first step, we focus on the relationship between visual information and affective response, especially using evaluation of objects with many kinds of affective indices to verify the bi-directional relationship between the information and the response. On tasks like design evaluation, we measure a number of brain activities with non-invasive methods, such as EEG and fMRI, to evaluate the input-output relationship and construct models that work to combine affective evaluation with elements of related visual processing output. This research integrates vision research and affective science to bring about a comprehensive understanding regarding the mechanism of affective evaluation of visual information.
Current research topics	Vision and affective science (KANSEI) integrated researches; Color discrimination and color appearance of color deficient people and color universal design; Age-related changes of visual information processing; Vision and Load Safety; Contribution and interaction between luminance and color infromation in image and objects recognition; Investigation of color constancy mechanism; Blackness and chromatic induction in visual system and its (brain) higher-order mechanisms; Investigation of human communication processes through brain measurement and analysis; Development of KANSEI (affective science) evaluation methods and analysis of KANSEI responses to investigate KANSEI structure in human brain.
