Cognition, Sense-Making and Biophysical Skills(CB)

 Combine knowledge, Create knowledge: The science of diverse interactions


OHGI, Yuji
Professor, Program Chairperson

We move, feel, and live in our daily life by constantly working our brains and bodies together. We use our bodies and language as mediums to express ourselves and interact with others, creating vivid sensations and emotions to form the foundation of human individuality, intelligence, sensitivity, and sociality.

In this way, it can be understood that what paints our abundant day to day experiences are diverse interactions, occurring between the body and mind, the conscious and unconscious, people and the environment, the self and others, and the virtual and real.

The CB Program examines the science of interaction in people and society, which will contribute to the future of education, medicine, sports, art, and culture. We accomplish this by removing the academic boundaries between things like humanities and sciences, quality and quantity, foundation and application, and theory and practice, and by combining the methodologies of each individual field. Let us create the future of knowledge together.
