Biological Function Engineering

Exploration of brain and biological functions to make contributions to engineering, medicine, and welfare

Our laboratory conducts comprehensive research aimed at understanding biological systems, spanning from signal measurement using magnetic sensors (hardware) to signal analysis via computational methods (software). To achieve computational modeling of human information processing from the peripheral (sensory organs) to the central nervous system (brain), we explore acoustic signal processing (e.g., source separation, localization, and identification), image signal processing (e.g., 3D shape estimation and object detection), and brain signal processing (e.g., neural activity measurement and estimation). Additionally, we integrate these modalities to develop multimodal signal processing techniques. Furthermore, we apply these technologies to advance human augmentation systems and interfaces.
