Graduation Thesis （English）

●教授 山崎　敦子　Atsuko K. Yamazaki
Research Guidance： Diversity communication
Language： English
Research Content：1) To study appropriate interface designs and timings for learning by using ICT from the view point of brain activities, in particular the activities of the brain areas associated with working memory and language processing (Focusing on language learning and learning of elderly people).
2) To study mechanisms for enhancing better communication by examining the activation of the frontal lobe of the brain, and to identify how alerting and decision making can affect the brain activation.
For 1) & 2), experiments by using Near-infrared spectroscopy will be performed, and obtained data from the experiments will be analyzed. Students are expected to present the outcomes of their thesis research at an international conference/ a academic conference by Japanese academic societies, such as The Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence and The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

You are requested to record your work in your work diary. Your work and your presentation on your Graduation Thesis2 works are requested to be evaluated by your guiding professor and other professors, respectively. You must score at least 60 points or higher out of 100 to pass from the points of view as follows:
-Evaluation of your works by your guiding professor: You can understand a research background knowledge, and carry out the basic research work.
