"Gut microbiota control our behavior! "
"It's actually the bacteria in our gut that makes us fat!"
The truth is that all of this sounds like a lie. It is estimated that there are as many, if not more, intestinal bacteria living in our intestinal tract, than there are cells in our entire body. Gut microbiota has various effects on our body by crosstalk with host intestinal neurons, endocrine cells, and immune cells. In this lecture, the functions of the gut microbiota that contribute to the maintenance and promotion of host health will be outlined. In addition, the roles of the gut microbiota in the development of the intestinal immune system, various diseases caused by imbalances in the gut microbiota, and methods of disease prevention and treatment through appropriate control of gut microbiota will be explained, including the latest findings.

We have so many programming languages in the world. In this course, we investigate common concepts behind various programming languages. Our main goal is to gain the fundamental knowledge of computer science such as formal grammar, data types, programming paradigms, etc. through the concepts found in programming languages. Note that we focus on theoretical understanding, not practical skills of programming.
This studio is intended for students who are in the beginning stages of architectural design.
Students will analyze masterpieces of modern architecture and design a house on a real site using the analysis method.
This class is an environmental design practice studio that integrates architecture, urban design, and landscape architecture.
Architecture is necessary for people to live. Architecture is an artificial work, but human life is deeply related to nature in many ways. Human beings are a part of nature, and getting close to nature is a basic human desire. On the other hand, nature sometimes shows a life-threatening appearance. The fundamental role of architecture is to protect human life from the harsh aspects of nature, and at the same time, enjoy the blessings of nature and enjoy it from the bottom of our hearts.
Students will draw a new landscape image of the subject region by presenting a design for a given theme or the found problem after analyzing the region's situation with open data and information technology. Students are expected to understand the environmental strategy that builds the relationship between nature and human beings and acquire skills.
The goal of this class is to teach the basics of electronic construction to beginners using Arduino microcontroller board/development environment, and to acquire the skills to give shape to their ideas.
With the spread of machine tools and programming tools for personal fabrication, it has become possible for individuals to develop products similar to those of manufacturers.
In addition, hardware prototyping plays an important role not only in product development but also in the progress of various projects in the areas of design and expression.
Through the actual creation of a work of art, students will have the experience of designing their own circuits from an idea and creating a working prototype. The aim is not to explain the basic theory of analog/digital circuits, but to learn the basic skills of manufacturing using electronic circuits.
The purpose of this class is to understand the perceptual-motor skills in human motor behavior like a sports considering relationships between human, task, and environment from the field of the sports psychology.
Since the 1990s, while the world has experienced the wave of globalism, it has simultaneously been haunted by the rise of regional conflicts that had erupted subsequent to the end of the Cold War. Concurrently, the international community has been facing threats emanating from the so-called failed states, mainly due to the former's inability to stabilize the situation. Furthermore, counter measures introduced by individual states to deal with challenges represented by global warming and contagious diseases like Ebola will remain less effective if not conducted comprehensively and collectively through international and/or regional institutions or forums. This class will consider a variety of issues that require multilateral mechanism of governance.

This class deals with issues concerning “learning” in a very broad sense, which includes almost all knowledge and skill that is acquired through one’s own experience or instructions. For example it includes learning of native and non-native language, literacy, everyday concepts and scientific concepts. It also includes various types of skills, such as sports, playing musical instruments, performing art, and fine arts. The goal of the class is to gain understanding of cognitive mechanisms through which learners acquire knowledge and skills. Based on this understanding, the class discusses ideal forms of learning and education in and outside classrooms.
- How do we view the size the color, and the depth of objects?
- How do we accumulate experiences and learning?
- How do we feel Kansei (aisthesis) and Shitsukan (material perception)?
These questions are contained in the question of how do we perceive and cognize the inside and outside of the body. This lecture will approach the laws of perception and cognition.
Students can know some aspects of formulating the mysteries represented by concepts and formulas and predicting the phenomenon of perception and cognition by using the model* to take the lecture.
Based on the mental model dealt in the course of Personality Development, we will discuss how inner psychic world is evolve from infancy, childhood, adolescence to adulthood through active interaction with environment.

Using materials from drama, novel, non-fiction, and guest lectures' talk, this course aims at students' deep understanding of mental environment.
How do people choose words or expressions to communicate with others successfully? Further, what difficulties are experienced if such acts are done in a second language(L2)? This lecture will survey how adult learners acquire L2. Students will learn theories of L2 acquisition and study issues involving communications from theoretical and practical positions. I welcome students who are interested in cross-cultural communication and pragmatics as well as second language acquisition (SLA) research.
The course aims to introduce students to basic concepts of semantics and methods for practical analysis of linguistic data. We will put particular focus on the analysis of lexical meaning from a cognitive linguistic perspective. What is the mechanism behind our understanding of lexical meaning? How are our concepts structured via metaphors other conceptual operations? What might we be able to learn from the analysis of culturally significant lexical items? These are basic research questions of this course. Graduate students who have already taken this course are expected to enhance their skill further and to tackle on a research question which will result in a professional presentation.
