Research Abstract

To understand the nature of Japanese language processing, this research project based on neuroimaging techniques examined lexical, morphological, sentential, and pragmatic aspects of the language. The Japanese language processing was also examined by contrasting the performance of native speakers with that of non-native speakers. These fMRI studies were able to demonstrate that some aspects of the Japanese language processing is unique、while some others are universal in nature. In addition, we conducted basic neurological studies in which we proposed a new methodology for simultaneous recording of EEG and fMRI and provided a new insight for better understanding of EEG source localization.
