We study multisensory integrations and body images in the brain of persons with developmental disorders by using physiological, psychological and histological methods. We intend to apply our research outcomes to medical and social supports for persons with developmental disorders.
In particular, we focus on three themes below.
- Analysis of mouse models of developmental disorders
- Psychophysics and brain imaging ( in human)
- Development of new support methods that are based on neuroscience
Neural basis of developmental disorders is still unclear. We would like to clarify the neural basis and develop innovative support methods for developmental disorders by using the outcomes. |
