Professional Experience

June, 2014– Present Principal Investigator, Professor, Interdisciplinary Institute of Neuroscience and Technology,

The current goals of my lab: 1) To seek the neuronal correlates with the sound related dicision making such as sound detection/discrimination and sound location. 2) To seek the origin of these correlates and the origin of the psychological limit. 3) To seek how attention, adaptation and emotion (especially depression) affect the decision making and the neuronal mechanism underlying the effects
