Participants are being recruited!
We want to uncover the wonders of babies through a variety of surveys. In our developmental support laboratory (TIPS-B), we conduct regular research on babies whose development needs to be monitored carefully, which collects basic data and informs parents about the developmental tests of their children. Would you like to participate in our research as a baby researcher? We look forward to hearing from you.

What does a baby researcher do?
We conduct three main types of research.
Developmental Research
What kind of toys do you like? How do they play?
Observe the baby’s interests through play.
Behaviour
Research
How do they see? How do they hear?
Examine your child’s eye movements while the baby watches images and moving objects. Also observe their behaviour while listening to words and sounds.
Brain Function Research
What is going on in their head?
It examines brain activity while looking at images or moving objects, or while listening to words or sounds.
This investigation uses a device called optical topography (NIRS). This device is safe and picks up and records signals emitted by the body, such as an electrocardiogram or pulse.
About Rehabilitation Intervention Research.
Research is being conducted to identify ways to promote the development of communication in children.
A researcher qualified as a clinical psychologist and a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst-Doctoral (USA) proposes parent-child interaction methods that can be done at home to promote the development of communication in accordance with what the child likes and can do.
After proposing parent-child interaction methods that promote the development of communication, we will continue the research carefully, meeting regularly with the parents and checking on the child’s progress.
The rehabilitation intervention research is basically conducted online, but you will be asked to visit Keio University’s Mita Campus only once at the start of the research in order to propose a way of interacting with your child that is tailored to your needs.
If you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
