It is true that the products of science and its applications are of significance to our lives, but at the same time there are still many social problems which cannot be solved by current science and technology, or they themselves even generate new risks to the society. This lecture course provides you an opportunity to consider how to face these problems.
The benefits of learning cognitive science and related academic fields are not only to be able to understand human mental processes and behaviors scientifically, but to help create effective solutions to various problems in modern society and industry.
This course aims to learn the essential literacy to apply such knowledge effectively and creatively to solve real-world problems that you will face in the future.
In this year’s course, we will focus on three topics from numerous studies related to cognitive science:
(1) Visual Perception,
(2) Affordances and Signifiers
(3) Decision-Making and Cognitive Biases.
I will explain the theoretical foundations of each topic, and then we will review and discuss the usefulness and the issues of their practical applications, especially in the fields of design and marketing, with the help of case studies.
We will review and discuss deceptive patterns, behavioral addiction, and their potential problems from the viewpoint of cognitive science
This year's class will adopt a PBL (Project Based Learning) format partly, and students will make proposals to solve specific problems in the real world.
This course particularly welcomes students who have a strong interest and passion for practical applications of academic knowledge.
If objectivity and universality is too much imposed on studies of intelligence, cognitive processes will be sort of a black-box and the studies will stumble. Cognitive science and artificial intelligence actually begin to experience difficulty of that sort, because of the conventional methodology of natural science.
This lecture will clarify what the deficiency of that methodology is and how the studies on intelligence can cope with it.
This lecture is intended for students who are practicing visual expression activities using media technology, and aims to provide them with hands-on workshops on methods of upgrading visual expression and linking it with auditory media. Lectures by guests who are active on the front lines are also scheduled.
This course covers building construction methods as the basis for architecture.

There are many classes about environment at SFC, but there is no class about nature except this class. In this class we deeply discuss about nature, environment and natural environment. Students should consider a future society based on natural environment through the discussion. Students have to read documents or books and watch movies which are shown in this syllabus before a class. In a class students discuss about a theme.

Forest Science and Engineering covers forests/timberland, forestry, lumber production and wooden architecture. The subject of this course focuses on lumber production and wooden architecture located downstream, and the other subject focuses on forests/timberland and forestry operations situated upstream. This course teaches specialized knowledge and examines the current overall situation together with the technologies and social systems that are associated with the existing issues and problems. Students are expected to gain specialized knowledge, deepen their understanding of the subject matter, and develop their own views and opinions.
The forests/timberland which account for 67% of Japan’s total land and all the related industries are closely tied to our daily life. The currently observed issues associated with forests/timberland, lumber production and wooden architecture are serving as a mirror that clearly reflects those aspects that Japan’s technology development and social system designing have lost sight of.
In the future, the students taking this course may not choose a profession that requires the knowledge covered in this course, but it is intended to equip them with expansive and deep thinking needed for each crucial decision making.

In this course students consider various ethical issues related to information with view point of architect or implementer of "info-ethic" rather than just studying so called "information ethic" or "information morale." Topics covered include ongoing issues in society and discuss with viewpoints of Norm, Architecture, Market, and Law. Through this process students acquire skills to identify optimal solution to problems that do not have defined right answer with their own ethical view.
Examples of cases to be discussed include "copyright and innovation", "security and privacy", "traceability and freedom of expression." These issues usually have conflicting requirement from various stakeholders and require harmonious design of technology and systems.
Through this process students will learn concept and architecture behind solutions and acquire knowledge and skills to be used by user, developer, corporate executives, government officials.
Expected students for the course include developer or designer of information technology, media, or security, consultant, and policy maker in the government.

Objective of this course is to obtain fundamental knowledge on information security to equip with skills to build secure system in business environment.
This course provides fundamental knowledge and skills of information security which widely required for practice and design of Information Technology. This include technology, management, legal issues, certification and privacy issues etc. The newest trends on techniques used by attackers and their countermeasures are to be covered. This course is intended to comply with standardized body of knowledge in information security and students can be prepared for certification such as "information security specialist" or CISSP. Expect students who seek carrier as information technology/information security manager in organizations, consultants, researchers etc.

Music is ubiquitous in our environment. A question in this course is how music is processed in our brain and how we can design the environment and change our brain functions with music. Recently, an emerging research field of Music and Neuroscience (“Neuromusic”) has been elucidating the neural correlates of music perception, cognition, and performance. In this course, I will overview what has been known so far in the Neuromusic research from the integrated point of view of Neuroscience, Evolutional Biology, Developmental Brain Science, Human Movement Science, and Cognitive Science.
