n.hagura at nict.go.jp, n.hagura at gmail.comWhat kind of brain mechanism allows us to perceive the outside world?
Does each individual share the same perceptual experiences?
In my lab, we believe that this question is tightly linked to the question of how humans efficiently move around the environment.
Below are the research questions of our lab;
1) How can we efficiently move, learn, and memorise various movement repertoires?
2) How do we perceive our body from sensorimotor experiences?
3) How is action and perception coupled in the brain?
We use psychophysical methods, computational modelling, neuroimaging as well as neurostimulation techniques.
If you are interested in participating in our lab, as an intern student, graduate school student or as a researcher, please get in touch.
