Rapid progress in information technology has brought about significant changes in various aspects of economics, society and culture. In this academic project, we will work on research in four directions: (1) theory, demonstration, history, (a) policy · management, (c) legal system, ethics, (d) education, practice on media and the network in general. Specific research projects include (1) information law, media literacy, (2) inter-company relations in the information and communication industry, (3) information and communication policy, (4) international comparative research on content policy and distribution . Depending on your research theme, you can start a new research project and proceed with research.

About NeuroMusic Lab

We research Neurosciences and Music (NeuroMusic) to understand why music is so fundamental to humans. We believe that music can be a prove to identify higher-order brain functions such as skilled motor control and learning, perception, cognition, memory, emotion and creativity in humans. We aim to clarify the origin of our musicality in the brain to augment the possibility of music for harmonious future.

Interests in the Neurosciences of Music has grown rapidly over the last few decades. However, there has been almost no laboratory for this field in Japan, despite a growing recognition of the need to understand the neural origin of our musicality. The NeuroMusicLab at Keio SFC (The Neurosciences and Music Laboratory at Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus) was founded by Dr. Shinya Fujii to address this need.

This course will be conducted in the style of a writer's workshop. Students will write a series of formal essays, and receive feedback from the teacher and other students. This class has a lot of homework. Reading assignments are of published short stories, followed by in-class quizzes. Students are asked to write about their lives, and to provide analysis of the writing of classmates. There is in-class writing every week. Please be prepared to write a lot on SFC Moodle. This class asks you to speak a lot, read a lot, and write a lot.

In this presentation class we examine different styles of presentations and look at various strategies and techniques that presenters use to persuade an audience. We study a range of examples from sales to TED style motivational presentations and students use these models to help them deliver media assisted presentations during the semester. Students choose their own topics. During the semester there are two group presentations and one individual presentation. At the end of the course, students should be able to give well structured, media assisted presentations in English in a variety of different styles.

This course is designed to help students become confident in using their English to produce written work from paragraph length to essay length. Students will be exposed to initial concepts in how to write good sentences, expand and vary sentences, improve writing style and write in formal tone. Subsequently, students will learn how to organize and support ideas to build a cohesive paragraph. Students will practice to write various cohesive short essays throughout the semester.

_How can we use computers and other artificial systems to break the limitation of our imagination and enhance human creativity? Computational Creativity is a multidisciplinary research field to tackle this very question._

The most of music we listen to every day is static, fixed to given timelines, regardless of the medium of distribution (CDs or streaming services). In this seminar, students will make "non-static music", which is adaptive to the surroundings, interactive to human inputs and generative in the computational environment. We will use the latest machine learning/deep learning techniques and various input devices (cameras and sensors) for this purpose. By using these novel technologies, we'll try to explore the possible form of music in the future and new ways to create music beyond our imagination (X Music).

The goal is to cultivate novel music expressions through various computational techniques.

In this course, students will learn the basics of AI techniques such as Deep Learning and explore the possibility of various applications of it in the field of art (media art, sound art, graphics, literature, fashion design etc.). Through both technical aspects of AI and aesthetics of the artistic expressions, we'll try to critically contemplate the impact of AI on human beings as we know now and the society of the future.

The main purpose of this seminar is *to study perceptual and cognitive functions relating to the mind and the body* .

We aim to discover various perceptual and cognitive phenomenon, to verify models, and to construct models.

The principal investigator (Masaki Mori) engages in a specialized study of *Vision* , and especially *Space perception and cognition* .



we study the research of experimental psychology relating to the five following themes:

- Perception and cognition of *Space* (Elucidation of the space-perceptual and cognitive abilities) Example: Visual space, Binocular stereoscopic vison, Cognitive space, Auditory space, Haptic space, Gaze perceptional space, Navigation, Vision under the head-mounted display

- Perception and cognition of *Socialization* (Elucidation of the mechanism of gaze perception and joint attention) Example: Eye contact, Perception of gaze direction, Perception of pointing direction

- Perception and cognition of *Embodiment* (Elucidation of the influence of body movement on perception and cognition, Assessment of motor performance) Example: Rubber hand illusion, Sense of agency, Sense of ownership, Position sense, Running motion, External and internal focus of attention, Vection (Self-motion perception)

- Perception and cognition of *shitsukan* (Elucidation of the mechanism of shitsukan perception) e.g. visual comfort/discomfort, shitsukan of objects in real life, individual differences in shitsukan perception

- Perception and cognition of *Handicaps* (Elucidation of perceptual and cognitive abilities of children and adults with mental, developmental, and physical disabilities) Example: Perceptual properties of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Perceptual properties of the person with Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders, Individual difference




These studies aim to contribute to the investigation of the mechanism of perceptual and cognitive processing, the development of psychological assessment, the evaluation of motor performance, the technical development of virtual reality, etc.

In the first half we study set theory and mathematical logic. These are useful of logical thinking. In the latter half we study probability. We overview permutation and combination, which you have learned at high school, and then, we study probability. Our goal is Bayesian Theory. This is new for all. Mathematics in university is different from one in high school. Even if you are no good at calculation and memory, you have a chance to enjoy mathematics in university.

The most attractive point of SFC is that the two faculties are not separated into arts and science but learning from an interdisciplinary approach is encouraged. Students are expected to learn and research through identifying and solving problems. The research topics of SFC students are of different fields. With regard to the learning environment full of diversity, we would like to explore a new model for Chinese education that best fits learners’ various needs.
