Functional brain imaging manipulates the subject's brain activity through experimental stimuli and tasks, and visualises mental processes in the brain through appropriate inter-condition comparisons and correlation analysis with various variables (performance, self-evaluation, personality traits, etc.). This makes it possible to prove psychological hypotheses and evaluate the effects of interventions, which have been difficult to do in behavioural experiments and questionnaire surveys.Â
This kind of research will create new developments in social applications of humanities and cognitive neuroscience in more diverse fields through collaboration between specialists in various fields who have these research motives and specialists in functional brain imaging.Â
In this event, Motoaki will share basic knowledge and findings that will serve as a foothold for such collaboration.
This event will be particularly useful for researchers.
This is a hybrid event and can be joined either in-person or online.
