【Tom Froese Associate Professor（Embodied Cognitive Science Unit）】
Exchange of ideas on research on patients with eating disorders
In relation to the collaborative research project we have been developing with Professor Tom Froese under the support of “L-INSIGHT”, we engaged in more in-depth discussions during this period and outlined the future timeline for its execution. Furthermore, exploring the feasibility of a forthcoming collaborative project enhanced the value of our visit.
Voices of Students
This visit to OIST was a very productive time for us to discuss eating disorders from a new perspective of embodied cognition. In addition, using the various devices related to embodied cognition allowed us to think about mental illness from perspectives unfamiliar in our usual approach. We would like to utilize this visit to coordinate a detailed plan to carry out collaborative research.
