kumagaya researches no.03 Participatory research on autism spectrum disorder
Realizing a Society Inclusive of Neurodiversity
We are using experimental psychological techniques to test some hypotheses about physical and cognitive diversity derived from tojisha-kenkyu of people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and exploring conditions for a social environment that is inclusive of different neurodivergent peoples.
We have also developed an ASD Perception Experience Simulator, which allows users to have the kind of audiovisual experiences reported by people with ASD, and are currently verifying its effectiveness in reducing stigma.
Furthermore, we are constructing a new theory of ASD based on connections between tojisha-kenkyu and predictive coding theory, and verifying this through cognitive psychological experiments with robots.
Recently, we are interested in how cognitive feeling (mood) changes with tojisha-kenkyu and changes in the social environment.
