FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions asked before a consultation, about graduate study, JSPS PD / RPD fellowships, and research collaboration.

There is no set reading list. After you contact us, we may suggest literature depending on your interests.
Yes. Supervision in English is available; please contact us before applying.
We have not hosted working professionals so far, but acceptance is possible if a pre-application meeting confirms a good match between your topic and our supervision. Please start from the contact form.
There is a weekly graduate seminar (currently held jointly with labs in related areas of the department) and a weekly sub-seminar, where we read books and papers together and hold workshops on new methods.

When you present, conference fees and travel costs are subsidized by the lab. Support programs of the School of Humanities and the university are also available. Publication fees are covered by lab research funds as far as possible, so that the costs do not fall on you.
For eye tracking we use an EyeLink 1000 (SR Research); a Tobii tracker is also available (shared with a neighboring lab). Experiment PCs and displays are well provided.
Yes. Application documents take time to prepare, so contact us early in the application year.
