Senior🎓
Top SchoolAtsushi Yokoi is a senior researcher and neuroscientist based in Osaka with a decade of experience studying motor control, learning, handedness, and laterality using psychophysics, computational modeling, and fMRI. He has advanced from postdoctoral fellowships in Japan, the UK, and Canada to a leadership role at NICT’s Center for Information and Neural Networks, where he now directs research projects. Trained at Kyoto University and The University of Tokyo, he blends engineering-minded quantitative skills with deep domain knowledge in cognitive and physical education. Although not a heavy software developer, he leverages MATLAB and modeling tools to translate experimental data into mechanistic insights. His work is marked by cross-cultural collaborations and a persistent interest in how lateralized behavior emerges from neural dynamics.
