My research domain is Cognitive Science. I engage in some experimental studies based on the information processing approach to human cognition. I also apply the cognitive theory or the computational cognitive models to the human cognition in the real world. So far I have investigated "Analogical Reasoning based on Everyday Experience" and "Interactions of Perceptual and Conceptual Processing in Medical Image Diagnosis." As a future direction, I will investigate the design activity that the complex interactions between humans and physical objects is involved in.
