ポスドク以降取り組んできた成果が、ついに出版されました! 幼児(およそ3–6歳)において、瞬きの頻度が実行機能とその神経基盤(前頭前野外側部の機能的発達)と関係していることを示しました。 乳幼児は大人に比べて瞬きが非常に少ないことが知られていましたが、その発達が実行機能とそれを支える脳発達をうかがう手がかりの一つになるかもしれません。 nature.com/articles/s4427…

We are proud to share our new preprint! Using fNIRS in children aged 3–6 years, we found robust prefrontal recruitment during Stroop-like cognitive conflict even in 3–4-year-olds. Better interference control was specifically linked to greater right prefrontal activation!

The Stroop effect is a canonical measure of executive control, yet its neural architecture has been defined largely in literate children and adults, where left frontal mechanisms have long been implic...

🌸 New paper out! We examined symmetry and aesthetic judgments in ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Symmetry generally enhanced perceived beauty, and the effect was stronger for people without ikebana experience. Likely the first international quantitative study on ikebana!

Let's compare our world models. I find that different people seem to have rather distinct internal world models. E.g. I personally have neither visual imagination nor an inner voice, found it weird others do. Here is a quick google forms to check idea: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
