This special workshop aims at obtaining knowledge of neuroscience, dermatological, and haptic science. Specifically, we plan to conduct research on how a sense of touch is related to deep SHITSUKAN, which can be acquired on the skin surface or embodied experience in the scientific exhibition.
We are planning to conduct the following themes:
- (1) Study on skin sensation (biology and neuroscience)
- (2) Exhibition experience of the research outcomes of deep SHITSUKAN (personalized haptic devices) at the science museum (MIRAIKAN)
This special research project is a part of a collaborative study with the SFC TOUCH LAB (Nakatani lab) and biophysics lab (at Chiba University), Hiroya Tanaka lab (at SFC).
After taking this class, we wish students to learn research methodologies in haptic sciences with dermatological sciences and computers for finishing students' graduation research projects
(for both grad and undergrad students).
