Cognitive Design Laboratory

We create various artefacts by analyzing human cognitive aspects.

Our laboratory (Hirotaka AOKI’s lab.) specializes in “Cognitive Engineering” approaches focusing on human cognitive aspects. Our interests are in the field of cognitive task analysis. We are developing feasible cognitive task analysis methodologies, and applying them to various domains such as medicine, consumer research/marketing and UX/UI.
