Brief biography: I was born and raised in Japan. After receiving a B.A. in Psychology from Kyoto University, I came to the United States and received a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Chicago. I was a post-doctoral researcher at University of California, Irvine and University of Nevada, Reno before joining CSUF in 2001. Even though my main research interest remains visual perception, I have been also enjoying the expansion of my research into correlational studies of hearing behaviors and auditory thresholds and developing the Japanese version of well-established negative mood regulation
(NMR) expectancies in collaboration with Dr. Jack Mearns.
