https://researchmap.jp/msanadaI have been conducting foundational research on the functions of the mind, such as attention and emotions, using electroencephalography (EEG). Building on these insights and methodologies, I aim to explore the workings of the mind in real-world settings and to advance the practical application of these findings.
I am currently interested in using EEG synchronization to capture similarities and differences in cognition between individuals, and to clarify how these are formed.
