Members who are interested in music are engaged in various projects in my laboratory. The projects currently under way are divided into two categories: performance and the effects of music. The former category encompasses the following four research themes: (1) What are the factors in deciding the quality of sight playing? (2) What does the artistic performance mean to ordinary listeners? (3) Comparison of impression between human singing and vocaloid; (4) Communication through music. The latter embraces the following two studies: (1) Japanese translation of a questionnaire to measure musical sensitivity; (2) Is music instrumental in improving a state of anxiety? I have also conducted joint research leveraging a network with overseas researchers forged over the course of my 13-year stay in North America. I look forward to you joining our laboratory and developing original research combining scientific evidence with free thinking.
