https://researchmap.jp/y_suda_ptIt is essential to perceive space accurately for us to move accurately.
We are able to reach our hand straight toward a target and arrive at the intended location because our brain can represent external space with high precision. My research explores what kinds of information are important for spatial perception in such situations, how this information is processed in the brain, and how it is stored as memory.
To address these questions, I use various approaches, including studies involving blind individuals. By combining 3D motion analysis, psychophysical methods, computational modeling, and neuroimaging, I aim to better understand the functions of the human brain.
