Course Summary

This class focuses on sense of touch. Even though we touch something in daily basis, it is rare for us to pay attentions to somatosensory feedback itself. Recent scientific reserach in embodied cognition suggests that our decision makings are substantially influenced by haptic feedback experienced in our daily life. I expect that looking through the daily life in terms of "touch". It would provide an opportunity to find hidden values that are not consciously realized.
