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 ...

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.

The scientific basis and the future possibility for ischemic resistance training
TAKARADA, Yudai Professor (Faculty of Sport Sciences School of Sport and Sciences)
Takarada et al. have previously shown that low-intensity resistance exercise combined with vascular occlusion induces a marked hypertrophy and concomitant increase in strength, even if the exercise load is much lower than that expected to induce muscular hypertrophy.
