National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) Human Informatics and Interaction Research Institute Mental and Physical Functions Modeling Group (MPFMRG) |
Mental and Physical Functions Modeling Group (MPFMRG) focuses on developing techniques to evaluate mental and physical fitness by integrating neurocognitive measures such as EEG/(f)MRI, physiological data from cardiovascular systems (ECG etc.), and behavioral data acquired in daily life with data science technologies. Our research area includes neuro-behavioral studies of cognitive aging, human emotional processing, and human-to-human communication. We also conduct research to apply our findings to improve quality-of-life of elderly people, to support better products and/or service design, and to understand human-to-human cognitive interaction.
