Diversity Communication Research Laboratory
Studying linguistic communications from various engineering perspectives
Various modes of communication are used in our globalized world. Our laboratory researches communications from multiple perspectives. In particular, we study the way human languages and communications are structured as well as the way to carry out effective communications and acquire language skills. We use a device called optical topography to conduct experiments on the manner in which the brain functions when engaged in communication or learning languages under various conditions. We also study the application of our research to communications of elder people and the activation of the brain.
