The latest research topics in the lab are:

The objective of this research lab is to analyze haptic phenomena in daily life.
In 2020-2022, 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).
