Class Objectives
/Class Outline Human body is a good example to discuss cybernetics. In this lecture, two instructors in an omnibus form will introduce two topics: 1. Digital human: Understanding and applying human body function modelling techniques, and 2. Human sensory/emotional/cognitive information processing and its applications.

Class Schedule Guidance: August 18, 2026, 13:00- (Prof. Toshio Tsuji) at the "サイバネティクス応用特論-teams" conference
1. Outline of the lecture
Part 1: Digital human: Understanding and applying human body function modelling techniques (Prof. Natsuki Miyata, August 18, 2026, 13:00-)
2. Outline of digital human technology
3. Measurement and representation of body shape and movement
4. Ergonomic evaluation and its application to product design
5. Application to everyday life situations (Digital Twin)
6. Safety by design (1)
7. Safety by design (2)
8. Summary of Part 1 and writing assignments
Part 2: Human sensory/emotional/cognitive information processing and its applications (Assoc. Prof. Noriaki Kanayama, August 20, 2026, 13:00-)
9. Fundamentals of Psychophysiology
10. Brain Activity Underlying Sensory Information Processing
11. Brain Activity Underlying Emotional and Cognitive Information Processing
12. Bodily Self-Representation and Brain/Physiological Responses
13. Alterations of Human Body Representation Using Virtual Reality
