Research Contents

My research focuses on human communication. I measure multiple biosignals—such as brain activity, autonomic responses, and eye gaze—and quantitatively describe them using time-series and network analyses. In particular, I regard subtle “misalignments” in understanding, attention, and perception during conversation and collaborative work as shifts between states, and aim to clarify what triggers these shifts and how they unfold through the analysis of biosignal data, while establishing robust methods to describe them.

Attractive Factors of My Research

My research is driven by a simple idea: humans have lived by communicating with one another since long before written history. What makes this work compelling is the opportunity to bring subtle, often hard-to-notice changes—such as misunderstandings and misalignment—closer to something we can see, by combining state-of-the-art biosignal measurements with data analysis.
