I am studying the brain mechanisms of human language. Using fMRI, I have verified that the Broca's area is the brain region responsible for the construction of hierarchical structures in sentence processing. Similar hierarchical structures exist in mathematics and music, which also activate Broca's area. Language, mathematics, and music are all symbolic sequences in which multiple symbols are linearly connected, and we believe that the essence of hierarchical structure is that symbolic sequences have cohesion among symbols and cohesion of cohesion. We have experimentally shown that there is a hierarchical structure in drawing, which is an important symbolic ability unique to humans. We are conducting a neuroscientific study of what symbols are and why they exist only in humans, while also incorporating an evolutionary perspective.

The research I am currently working on is
- Language impairment in autism as an affective computation deficit in the hierarchy of sentence-final particles
- Biological basis of drawing ability: comparative study of humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, monkeys, and tigers
- Survey of ICT use by the hearing impaired in the COVID-19 epidemic and development of information materials based on successful examples of ICT use
The are.
