Project Description
This JSPS ('Kakenhi Kiban B') project investigates the effects of cognitive anxiety associated with observation of other individuals and competition on one's own motor behavior. In Collboration with Centre for Information and Neural Networks (CINET) in Osaka, National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Kanoya, and Nagoya Chukyo University, we are using cognitive neuroscience experiments and computational modelling to acquire a quantitative measure of motor deteriorations due to anxiety, and investigate how non-human agents like robots may be used to influence human behaviors.
