Japan's elderly population has exceeded 25%, and it becomes a hyper-aged society. As people age, they are more likely to have movement disorders, which increases social security costs and the burden on caregivers, physical therapists, and other professionals. Our laboratory aims to develop technologies to assist people with movement disorders and rehabilitation system for motor learning. In order to assist human motion and provide rehabilitation effectively, it is important to understand the mechanism by which humans achieve movement as fundamental research and utilize this finding in support system. Our laboratory conducts a wide range of research, from fundamental research to elucidate the mechanism of human motor control to applied research to develop assistive technologies.

The human brain enables adaptation to various environments and facilitates a range of actions by the body. Therefore, suffering from a brain injury makes it difficult to adapt to environments, affecting daily life activities. In order to provide effective approaches to support those in need of such rehabilitation, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms of human adaptation based on neuroscience and cognitive science. In our laboratory, we strive to comprehend these mechanisms through the study of neural activity and cognitive characteristics. Our research spans from fundamental research to clinical research involving patients with neurological disorders.
