Online Seminar: "Considering 'Emotional Control' Necessary in the Age of COVID-19 Through Hormonal Fluctuations and Brain Waves" - April 19 (Participants Sought)

Dentsu ScienceJam Inc. hosted an online seminar on April 19 featuring Professor Yasue Mitsukura of Keio University, a leading researcher in visualizing emotions through brainwaves. The seminar, titled "Considering 'Emotional Control' Necessary in the Age of COVID-19 Through Hormonal Fluctuations and Brainwaves," is currently accepting participants.

The various restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic are thought to be increasing the burden on emotions. Therefore, self-checking emotions using objective methods to understand one's own state and feelings is necessary.

In this seminar, Professor Mitsukura, who has been researching biological signals for nearly 20 years, will speak. He will discuss the relationship between hormonal fluctuations and brain waves, which significantly influence human emotions, and the methods for measuring them. The latest case studies of the "Emotional Analyzer," a real-time emotional perception tool utilizing brain waves developed by Professor Mitsukura and Dentsu ScienceJam Inc., will also be introduced.

The Mitsukura Laboratory focuses on medical-engineering collaboration, conducting research that cannot be achieved through engineering or medicine alone. Key research areas span a wide range of fields, including: - Analysis of biological signals, particularly EEG - Real-time emotion recognition via EEG - Neuroscience - Elucidation of dementia mechanisms - Genetic analysis - Genome editing - Sleep analysis - Speech recognition and image processing

◎Professor Mitsukura's World-First Real-Time Emotion Recognition Tool Using Brainwaves: " Sensory Analyzer "
Brainwaves are electrical signals generated by human brain cell activity, measured by attaching electrodes to the scalp. Conventional electroencephalographs (EEGs) are difficult to use in real-world environments due to their size. The "Sensitivity Analyzer" enables real-world EEG measurement by employing a compact, single-pole EEG measurement system. The electrodes employ an active electrode method, suppressing the introduction of artifacts caused by electrode lead movement.
