With the development of measurement technology, it is becoming possible to visualize the human brain functions in daily environment.
Such brain function measurement technology works as a system combining engineering that detects electrical signals and blood
flow signals associated with neural activity, and psychological methods that quantify the cognitive mechanisms such as attention
and awareness, It is difficult to use the brain function measurement system based on only one field of knowledge. Therefore,
this course aims to comprehensively learn a wide range of fields from biosignal analysis technology to neurophysiology and
psychology, and to acquire knowledge that can utilize brain function measurement systems. In the class, we will give lectures
on basic contents from the principle of brain function measurement technology to application and introduce the latest research
topics.
The objective is to comprehensively learn a wide range of fields from measurement and analysis techniques of brain signals
to neurophysiology and psychology, aiming at acquisition of knowledge that helps to utilize brain function measurement systems.
- Understand the principles and features of typical brain function measurement techniques.
- Be able to read and summarize academic papers related to brain function measurement.
- Understand the configuration of the brain function measurement system and build your own experimental design
