研究実績の概要 |
In this study, I seek a computational model which explains how the haptic information is processed into categorical value. I hypothesize that the discrete fragments of haptics information are integrated into visual imagery at the intraparietal sulcus (IPS), then served to the lateral occipital complex (LOC) of the brain. To reveal such hierarchy, I have developed a pneumatic haptic display that can display the fragments of a digit sequentially inside the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner. I also developed a deep learning model which revealed the unknown hierarchical computation of vision-to-value transformation in the brain.

理由
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic limited our resources for conducting the haptic-based FMRI experiments.
|
今後の研究の推進方策 |
I intend to gather a few local participants for MRI experiments. The participants will be asked to cooperate in safety regulations, with regards to the COVID-19 pandemic.
|
次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
The influence of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced the amount for attending conference and restricted MRI experiments. In the next fiscal year, I need to use the incurring amount for recruiting the participants (30 participants, estimated) for both visions and haptics experiments and preparing submission for scientific journal.
