Evaluation of comfort through measurement of brain activity
KUMANO, Hiroaki Professor (Faculty of Human Sciences School of Human Sciences)
By measuring blood flow in the brain in real time through optical topography (NIRS), we can provide an objective, numerical index of the state of comfort or emotions. This will assist in the search for more effective stimulatory conditions and designs.

Ways to alleviate mood disorders through attention training
KUMANO, Hiroaki Professor (Faculty of Human Sciences School of Human Sciences)
Focusing on “rumination = repeated recalling of past events and being tormented by them,” often seen in depression, we are developing a form of neurobehavioral therapy based on attention training to alleviate rumination. We can provide treatments that suit the symptoms of the ...
