Research Abstract

Low detection capability of global earthquakes after the occurrence of large earthquakes: investigation of the Harvard CMT catalogue機能的磁気共鳴画像法(functional magnetic resonance imaging : fMRI)を用いて、数学的処理能力に関する脳活動を比較し、それぞれの脳機能に特異的な部位を抽出した。さらに、複数の時系列間の情報の流れを計算するデータ解析法を開発し、数学的処理能力に関する脳活動部位間の結合を調べた。下記の通り2つの査読付論文及び4回の国際学会で研究結果を発表した。
