Outline of Research at the Start

本計画班は、健常者の限界を規定する脳メカニズムの解明と限界突破法の開発を推進する。卓越者や病態を抱える患者と比べ、脳構造や身体能力に極端な個人差がない健常者では、心理的要素が能力限界の主な要因となる。本班は、意識的な制御が難しい潜在的な認知過程が心脳限界を左右するという仮説をもとに、代表の柴田の経験と技術を活かした研究開発を行 う。行動実験により限界を定量化し、脳活動測定をもとに限界に関わる脳部位を同定する。同定された脳部位に対し、リアルタイム脳情報解読フィードバックを適用することで、限界を突破するための技術を新たに開発する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the limits of human performance are controlled by implicit cognitive processes in the brain and to develop methods for transcending those limits. To achieve this objective, we conducted well-designed behavioral experiments, brain imaging experiments, and brain stimulation experiments. Throughout the research period, we faced challenges such as restrictions on global research activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic and delays of one and a half years or more in the entry of foreign researchers due to immigration restrictions. However, significant research outcomes have been achieved so far, including the discovery of several methods for transcending limits utilizing technology and psychological insights, such as improving reaction time through skin electrical stimulation and enhancing sustained grip strength through distraction techniques.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

火事場の馬鹿力はなぜ起こるのだろうか?危険時に一瞬で筋肉が強くなることはない。また平常時はいくら頑張っても出せない力が出せるのだから、火事場の馬鹿力は脳の情報処理、特に潜在過程によって制御されていると考えることができる。この制御を騙す方法の発見、この制御に関わる脳部位の解明や、その脳部位を操作する技術の開発は、学術的に価値が高いだけでなく、新しい訓練法等の創出にも繋がる。また慢性疲労症候群に代表されるように、潜在過程が制御する限界が極端に低くなってしまった患者の状態を改善させるための、新たな医療技術のシーズになる可能性もある。
