Research

I have studied the mechanisms of visual perception, attention, and memory. Especially, the role of memory in serial deployment of attention has been the main topic of my research (e.g., Takeda & Yagi, 2000).

I am also interested in new development of indices for measuring cognitive functions. To this end, I have studied the saccade trajectory deviations and the synchronization of electroencephalographic signals between brain regions during cognitive tasks (e.g., Phillips & Takeda, 2009).

My recent research focuses on investigating the cause of variation of cognitive performance among trials and individuals. I am investigating the relationship between the cognitive performance and the efficiency of brain network (e.g., Kamijo, Takeda, & Hillman, 2011).

Measuring cognitive functions in a real-world task (e.g., driving a vehicle) is important for product developments. I have carried out many collaborative studies with private companies to estimate the usability of specific products (e.g., Takeda, Yoshitsugu, Itoh, & Kanamori, 2012).
