ITO Kiyohide 教授

ITO, Kiyohide Professor

Research Projects

• Auditory Perception: I conduct research on the characteristics of environmental sounds and how sounds are perceived.
• Vibration perception: We are researching the effects of inaudible sounds on the psychological and physiological aspects of the body.
• We are researching the effects of Eastern body techniques on preventing locomotive syndrome.
• We are developing an ecological interface that is easy to use intuitively.

The appeal of research

I am confident that my research will help solve the problems that modern Japanese society will face in the future.
