About the Nomura Lab
Whether
and how a wide range of factors such as developmental, genetic,
socio-environmental, and all of these interactive mechanisms are involved in
psychological processes underlying emotion and self-regulative process?
Nomura Laboratory addresses these questions employing a variety
of methods such as brain imaging (fMRI, NIRS), genotyping and behavioral
paradigms. In addition to bridge the gaps between psychology, neuroscience
and molecular biology, overall goal of the lab is to create a new research
field in human sciences. The lab runs the meeting for Social Life Science
(SLS) regularly in the late morning on Wednesday.
