New paper published! It’s open access—please take a look!

We developed the Japanese version of a scale to measure attitudes toward AI (ATAI). The scale captures two key factors: AI acceptance and AI fear—including the tendency to accept AI even while feeling fear.

During my three-week stay in Japan, I had the opportunity to give four presentations at two conferences (the Japanese Psychological Association and the Japanese Cognitive Science Society).

Finished my poster presentation at the Japanese Psychological Association!
I explored the beauty of ikebana by quantitatively examining symmetry, a classic theme in empirical aesthetics. Since this project has only just begun, I was grateful to receive so much valuable feedback today🫶

Our paper on how sauna bathing affects psychological states and personality traits has just been published! @kittykat931.bsky.social

Study 1 showed that regular sauna users have more vivid bodily sensation imagery and give higher aesthetic ratings to haiku.

Our preprint on Bugaku (Japanese court dance) is out! Japanese and German participants watched Bugaku videos and shared their impressions. Japanese participants reported higher liking and transcendental experience, while Germans focused more on movement details. Check it out!

📢 Our new paper is out!

This study examined how people process haiku poetry by presenting each line sequentially (5-7-5 syllables), tracking cognitive and emotional changes throughout. We measured emotional responses using a joystick and analyzed changes in pupil size.

I will be attending #TeaP2025 and giving an oral presentation on March 10 at 17:00! The title is "Towards New Horizons in Cultural Empirical Aesthetics", and together with Prof. Thomas Jacobsen, we will introduce approaches to cross-cultural research in empirical aesthetics. Looking forward to it😊

Excited to share our new preprint!

Our research reveals that people can simultaneously experience fear toward AI while still accepting it.

I was interviewed by web media!

The article provides a detailed summary of my ph.D. studies and my current postdoc research. It's in Japanese, but I’d appreciate it if you could read it with translation! My boss, Thomas Jacobsen, also makes an appearance😊

Unfortunately, my MSCA proposal was not selected this time. However, I received valuable feedback, and I hope to refine my ideas and apply again in the future. Many thanks to the reviewers and the organizing committee for their time and constructive comments!

I had the opportunity to present at an online research showcase event. Around 50 participants joined, both online and in person in Tokyo. I hope my research sparked some interest and curiosity! with @hayataka88.bsky.social

Our new preprint is out!

It explores how thinking about God influences self-recognition and AI preferences among Christians and Shintoists in Japan. I focus on the intersection of aesthetics, religion, and culture, including preferences for AI art.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
