A recent advance in brain measurement and analysis techniques has enabled to read human brain information non-invasively, to uncover brain functions, and to link a brain and a machine/computer. In this class, we will study neural mechanisms of information transmission by action potentials and brain measurement techniques (physical principles, advantages and disadvantages, analysis algorithms) such as EEG, MEG, and MRI. Furthermore, we will focus on recent technologies such as brain machine/computer interfaces and brain decoding.
Smart devices, such as smart phones and tablets, have experienced rapid growth in the past few years, and has opened various possibilities of innovation in fields of research and development.
This course will focus on application development through Unity engine for both ios and Android systems. Students will first learn about the fundamentals of Unity engine, then learn how to utilize features available on smart devices such as touch sensor,accelerometer, GPS, network, etc. Each student is expected to create a smart device application by him/herself at the end of this course as a final project.
In this lecture, students who have never conducted molecular biology experiments will be explained from the handling of laboratory equipment so that they can start research smoothly. In addition to simply explaining the experimental methods, I will also lecture my own research experiences and failures. Originally, research is to acquire actual knowledge and skills by being scolded by faculty members and seniors in the laboratory, and it takes a long time. In my domestic and international research life, there was no class to transfer systematic techniques and know-how, and I have never heard of such a story. Therefore, many students are making similar mistakes. In this class, I will make use of such experiences, incorporate my own research experiences and failures, and generously convey information useful for efficient research of students.
The course will cover mathematical modeling techniques for simulating the behavior of biological systems at the sub-cellular level. Particular focus will be given to modeling various molecular and cellular processes. (i.e. enzyme reaction, population dynamics of bacteria, signal transduction in the cell, electrophysiological dynamics of ion channels, etc.) Topics include methods for mathematical modeling and computer simulation, design of simulation experiments, and analysis of results. Students will be expected to learn about:
Digital electronic circuits are the underlying basis of the computer. And analog electronic circuits are also essential to our daily life, which have been used in devices for human-computer interaction. There is no difference of physical characteristic between the both circuits if you look at the micro point of view. But looking at the macro point of view, the both circuits have clear differences. Analog circuits are designed focusing on the effective use of electricity as energy, while digital circuits are used for transmitting and processing of electrical information. This course trains students to learn the basics of both of the analog electronic circuit and the digital electronic circuit systematically, which are essentials to understand computer architecture, sensors and electronic actuators.
An importance of Computer software becomes higher and higher in various fields. Computer software is developed using various programming language. There are many types of programming languages. For examples, there are a programming language for a large scale software, for prototyping, for logic and so on.
In this class, students learn the design and strong point of programming languages. Students becomes who can choose an appropriate programming language.
In this course, we will share how to create workshops. Participants will create a workshop in a group, and facilitate it for other students. We will hold refection & discussion session for understanding and improving our skills to design workshops.
Based on the experience in this class, you will write pattern language for designing workshops, where patter language is a method to scribe out the practical knowledge related to a certain field of knowledge.
What would society be like in the future? This class sets off by imagining that society of the future will be a “Creative Society” where each and every person makes full use of their own creativity that they originally hold within themselves. In a creative society, it will become a commonplace for everyone to “create” in many different fields and domains. More than anything else, “creating” will come to symbolize the richness and happiness of life and living.
In the past, “Information Society,” which began with the advent of the Internet, changed our lives, organizations, and society. In the same way, the arrival of Creative Society will bring enormous change in the way we live, organize and live in society. Imagining what those changes are and what they will bring is an important in preparation for the future.
To prepare for such a future, this class welcomes guests engaged in creative practice and research to hold dialogue and deepen our vision of the future of a “creative society.” The final goal of this class is for each student to be able to bring together the ideas and approaches learned in each dialogue in the form of pattern language and link them to their own future practice.
We will invite guests who are involved in creative activities related to the Creative Society for lectures and discussions. In this year’s class, we will invite fascinating researchers from abroad as guest speakers for lectures and dialogue.
It is important to do correct deduction. In this lecture, we study the correctness of deduction using symbolic logic. Natural language is too complex to handle, so we first need to replace it with symbols and find out the essential logical structure. We will study what is the correct deduction, how we can show the correctness, and so on. We will handle first propositional logic, then predicate logic. We may also touch some of none classical logic.
This course is designed for those who are in the lower intermediate level of Japanese or who have completed the Japanese Intensive Elementary 2.
Students will practice reading, writing, listening, and speaking while studying grammar, vocabulary, and kanji. They will also study to be able to use Japanese well by making presentations, writing essays, and reviewing grammar.
This class tries to enable students to understand the position of Japan in the modern and contemporary eras and to acquire policy-oriented thinking in the future. Every week different speakers come and talk about their own topics related to Japan.
First year students after finishing "Policy Management Studies" or "Environment and Information Studies" are welcomed.
Approximately three-fourths of the Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine and half of the Nobel prize in Chemistry have been related to Life Science-Cell Biology. There has been no such academic domain. I think that the reason why Cell Biology is so special is because it has been worked as a driving force to support human society and health. In this class, I am planing to explain some extremely important and epoch making discoveries from the recent 30-years Nobel prize (especially, if it is performed by Japanese scientists).
Measurement and analysis of neural information
We promote basic studies about the human brain by measuring and analyzing neural information and apply the findings to computing, VR/AR, media, health, and so on. Recent advances in non-invasive brain measurement techniques enable us to see the human brain objectively. We study how to clarify the brain mechanism using EEG (electroencephalography), tES (transcranial electrical stimulation), and so on, and promote research to achieve not only good graduation project but also conference presentation and journal publication.
