Touch Lab 2: Touch Science
The latest research topics in the lab are:
[Perceptual psychology/neuroscience]
- Perceptual mechanism of the Fishbone Tactile Illusion
- Perceptual mechanism of the Velvet Tactile Illusion
[Developmental psychology / cognitive sciences]
- How do infants and children interact with a haptic object in the playground? A study through machine learning algorithms.

[Affective psychology]
- Cosmetic advertisements and their sensory correspondence
- Development of haptic display using tactile illusions
The objective of this research lab is to analyze haptic phenomena in daily life.
In 2020, we have learned basic statistics and multivariate analysis. Based on this background, we would like to conduct research projects on a group basis. Senior students are supposed to lead a project, and junior students would support the research project (but junior students can add some of the research items in the main project).
