Research Summary

In the aging and high-stress society of recent years, the number of people who suffer from mental disorders continues to increase year after year, and inflating medical expenses become a critical social issue as well. Towards creation of a novel brain/mental health management framework to prevent serious disorder, we are developing necessary key technologies such as brain state estimation methods by integrating everyday multi-sensor data with brain information, and robust EEG analysis techniques using fMRI data.
