74          `I study how the felt qualities of conscious experience — what the world looks like, what it feels like to be a self, how vivid or real things seem — can be reconstructed 

74inside computational models. The guiding idea, which I call computational neurophenomenology, is to treat a model not as a black box that merely classifies inputs, but as an artificial perceptual system whose architecture, priors, and objective functions are dials we can turn. By turning those dials, my collaborators and I try to simulate the specific phenomenological character of an experience, and then check the result against people's first-person reports. The aim is an "operational grammar" that connects subjective experience to manipulable variables, rather than settling for correlations between experience and brain activity.`,
75          `Much of this work uses altered states of perception as a testbed, because they reveal what the everyday brain quietly holds fixed. Using deep neural networks — and the DeepDream technique in immersive VR — we have simulated psychedelic-like visual hallucinations without any drug, isolating the perceptual change from a substance's other bodily effects. Extending this, we coupled image classifiers with generative networks and tuned three dimensions — how realistic, how spontaneous, and how complex a hallucination is — to reproduce the strikingly different visual worlds of Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia, Charles Bonnet syndrome, and psychedelics, then confirmed with patients and psychedelic users that the synthetic versions matched their own experience.`,
76          `The same logic reaches inward as well as outward. Working with predictive-processing and free-energy models, we have built agents whose attention self-organizes between a "doing" mode engaged with the outside world and a "being" mode resting on present, bodily (interoceptive) sensation — a step toward modelling mindfulness, mind-wandering, and even contentless "pure awareness." Across these projects I am increasingly convinced that there is no single master principle behind all of experience; rather, different qualities of experience correspond to different choices of architecture and objective function. My current work formalizes this as a framework in which the roles a network can play — extracting features, generating inner imagery, and judging what is real — become explicit, testable descriptors of how experience is built and how it can change.`

80          `この研究の多くは、知覚の変容状態（altered states）を実験の足場にしています。ふだんの脳が静かに「固定」しているものが、そこでくっきり見えてくるからです。深層ニューラルネットワーク、そして没入型VR上のDeepDreamを使い、薬物をいっさい用いずにサイケデリックに似た視覚的幻覚をシミュレートし、物質がもたらす身体的な副作用から「知覚の変化」だけを切り出してきました。さらに画像分類ネットワークと生成ネットワークを結合し、幻覚の「リアルさ・自発性・複雑さ」という三つの次元を調整することで、パーキンソン病やレビー小体型認知症、シャルル・ボネ症候群、サイケデリックという、まったく異なる視覚世界を再現し、患者さんや経験者ご本人に「自分の経験と合致する」と確かめてもらいました。`,
81          `同じ論理は、外の世界だけでなく内側にも向かいます。予測処理と自由エネルギー原理にもとづくモデルを用いて、外界に関わる「doing（する）」モードと、いま・ここの身体内部の感覚（内受容感覚）にとどまる「being（ある）」モードのあいだで注意がおのずと切り替わるエージェントを作り、マインドフルネスやマインドワンダリング、さらには内容をもたない「純粋な気づき（pure awareness）」のモデル化へと近づいてきました。こうした一連の試みを通じて、すべての経験の背後にただひとつの原理があるのではなく、経験の質のちがいは、構造と目的関数の選び方のちがいに対応している、という確信を強めています。いま取り組んでいるのは、ネットワークが担いうる役割——特徴を抽出する、内的なイメージを生成する、何が「本物」かを判断する——を明示的に取り出し、経験がどう構成され、どう変わりうるかを記述・検証できる枠組みとして定式化することでã

103          `Much of my work asks a deceptively simple question: why does the world, and our own self within it, feel real? This feeling — often called the sense of "presence" — is so constant that we rarely notice it, yet it can break down in conditions such as depersonalization and derealization, where people report that themselves and their surroundings seem unreal, distant, or "as if" behind glass. I treat presence not as something the brain passively receives, but as something it actively constructs and continually maintains — a feature of consciousness that can be measured, perturbed, and explained.`,
104          `To get at the mechanisms, I combine theory with immersive technology. On the theoretical side, my colleagues and I have proposed that presence arises from the brain's predictive modeling of the body from the inside — when the brain successfully predicts the bodily and emotional signals that flow from its own engagement with the world, we feel grounded in a reality that is unmistakably ours. On the experimental side, I build systems that let us manipulate that sense directly. With "substitutional reality," for example, we seamlessly swap a person's live surroundings for pre-recorded scenes without their noticing, so we can study how conviction about what is real is sustained — or quietly fabricated. More broadly, I use virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR/XR) to vary the sensory and bodily ingredients of an experience and watch how the feeling of "really being here" shifts in response. And to gauge the felt reality of objects themselves without relying on subjective report, I turn to implicit paradigms — using breaking continuous flash suppression in immer

104sive VR to ask how an object's perceived reality shapes the way it breaks into conscious awareness.`,
105          `What ties these threads together is the idea that our experience of reality is an active construction of the brain, not a transparent window onto the world. Understanding how that construction comes about matters not only for the science of consciousness, but for designing better immersive technologies and for making sense of clinical conditions in which the feeling of reality comes apart.`

108          `これまでの研究の多くは、一見素朴な問いから出発します——なぜ世界は、そしてその中にいる自分自身は、これほど「現実」に感じられるのか。この感覚は「実在感（presence）」とも呼ばれ、あまりに当たり前すぎて普段は意識すらしません。けれども、離人症・現実感喪失といった状態ではこの感覚が揺らぎ、自分も周囲もどこか嘘くさく、遠く、「ガラス越し」のように感じられてしまう。この実在感を、脳が受け身で受け取るものとしてではなく、脳が能動的に組み立て、たえず保ち続けているもの——測ることも、揺さぶることも、仕組みを説明することもできる、意識の一つの性質——として捉えています。`,
109          `そのメカニズムに迫るために、理論と没入型技術を組み合わせています。理論の面では、実在感は脳が身体を「内側から」予測することから生まれる、と考えてきました。世界とのやりとりの中で生じる身体や情動の信号を脳がうまく予測できているとき、紛れもなく自分のものと感じられる現実に、しっかりと足をつけていられるのです。実験の面では、その感覚を直接いじれる仕組みを作っています。たとえば「代替現実（Substitutional Reality）」では、本人に気づかれないまま、いま見ている現実の風景をあらかじめ録画した場面へとなめらかに差し替えてしまう。そうすることで、「何が本物か」という確信がどのように保たれ——あるいは静かに作り替えられてしまうのか——を調べられます。さらに広くは、VR・AR・XRを使って経験を構成する感覚的・身体的な要素を変化させ、「いま確かにここにいる」という感覚がそれに応じてどう揺れ動くのかを観察しています。さらに、そこにある「物体」がもつ実在感そのものを、主観的な報告に頼らずに（非明示的に）測ろうともしています。没入型VRのなかで連続フラッシュ抑制（breaking CFS）を用い、その物体がどれだけ意識にのぼりやすいかを通じて実在感を捉えようとする心理実験です。`,
110          `これらの研究に共通しているのは、私たちが感じている現実とは、世界をありのままに映す透明な窓ではなく、脳による能動的な「再構成」なのだ、という考え方です。その再構成がどのように成り立っているのかを解き明かすことは、意識ã

132          `For me, the deepest question about the self is also the most physical one: what makes you feel that this body is yours, and that you are the one acting through it? Across my work I have come to see selfhood not as something given, but as something the brain actively constructs by weaving together bodily signals — the sensorimotor and multisensory information coming from the outside (what we see, touch, and do) and the interoceptive signals arising from within (the heartbeat, the breath, the quiet hum of the viscera). Strip the body away and the self has nothing to stand on.`,
133          `To study this, I treat the bodily self as something I can gently bend and measure. Using illusions such as the rubber hand illusion — and immersive versions built in virtual and augmented reality — I show that the feeling of owning a body can be enhanced or weakened simply by changing how these signals line up in time. When a virtual hand pulses in sync with your own heartbeat, ownership grows; how strongly depends on how well you sense your own internal state. We can even reach the self through the body's wiring directly: stimulating the vagus nerve, a main channel carrying signals from the organs to the brain, makes people more attuned to their real body and less captured by such illusions. The same logic extends to the sense of agency — the feeling of authoring our actions — which turns out to rest on the brain's integration of sensory cause and effect rather than on intention alone.`,
134          `Tying these strands together is a single idea: predictive coding. I think of the experience of being a self as the brain's best ongoing guess about the most likely cause of all these inner and outer signals taken together. This view matters because it reframes selfhood as a process we can probe, perturb, and ultimately understand — with implications for the many conditions, from depersonalization to chronic anxiety, in which the felt connection between body and self comes apart.`

138          `これを調べるために、身体的自己を「そっと歪めて測る」ことのできる対象として扱います。ラバーハンド錯覚や、VR・ARでつくった没入型のバージョンを使うと、これらの信号の時間的な合い方を変えるだけで、身体を所有している感覚が強まったり弱まったりすることが示せます。仮想の手が自分の心拍に同期して脈打つと所有感は高まり、その強さは、自分の内的状態をどれだけ感じ取れるかに左右されます。さらに、身体の配線を通じて自己に直接はたらきかけることもできます。内臓から脳へ信号を運ぶ主要な経路である迷走神経を刺激すると、人は自分の本物の身体により敏感になり、こうした錯覚に取り込まれにくくなるのです。同じ論理は「行為の主体感」——自分が行為の作り手だという感覚——にも及びます。それは意図そのものというより、脳が感覚的な原因と結果を統合する働きに支えられていることが見えてきました。`,

166          `What makes us call something an agent rather than just a physical process? A rolling stone obeys the laws of physics; a living cell, a robot, even a large language model seem to do something more — they hold themselves together and act toward goals of their own. Across this work I ask where that difference really lies, and whether agency is a property a system genuinely possesses or merely something we, as observers, read into it from the outside.`,
167          `My approach is to treat agency as something that has to be built and understood from the ground up, rather than assumed. Using artificial life — self-maintaining "cells," cellular automata, and Conway's Game of Life — we (my collaborators and I) study how the basic signatures of being alive can emerge on their own: self-organization, the maintenance of a viable internal state, and a homeostasis that, to stay adaptive, must itself stay dynamic ("homeodynamics"). These minimal model worlds let us watch a boun

167dary between life and non-life, or between an agent and a mere mechanism, appear from simple rules.`,
168          `More recently I have worked to make this intuition mathematically precise. Drawing on dynamical systems, information theory, and ideas like the free energy principle, we ask what minimally distinguishes a true agent — its own individuality, goal-directedness, and capacity to act on the world — from a system that merely behaves "as if" it had goals. The aim is a single, substrate-independent account of agency that spans the natural and the artificial, and that clarifies when calling a system an agent reflects its own intrinsic organization rather than just our way of describing it.`

171          `あるシステムを、単なる物理現象ではなく「エージェント（行為主体）」と呼べるのはどんなときでしょうか。転がる石はただ物理法則に従うだけですが、生きた細胞やロボット、さらには大規模言語モデルは、それ以上の何か——自分自身をまとめ上げ、自らの「目的」に向かって振る舞っているように見えます。この違いがどこにあるのかを問うています。行為主体性とは、システムが本当に備えている性質なのか、それとも観察者が外側から読み込んでいるだけなのか、という問いです。`,
172          `ここでのアプローチは、エージェントであることを最初から前提にするのではなく、いわばボトムアップで作り上げ、理解しようとするものです。自己維持する「細胞」やセルオートマトン、コンウェイのライフゲームといった人工生命を使って、「生きていること」の基本的なしるし——自己組織化、生存可能な内部状態の維持、そして適応的であり続けるためにはそれ自体が動的でなければならない恒常性（ホメオダイナミクス）——が、いかにして自然に立ち現れるのかを（共同研究者とともに）探っています。こうした最小限のモデル世界では、生命と非生命の境界、あるいはエージェントと単なる機械の境界が、ごく単純なルールから浮かび上がる様子を観察できます。`,
173          `近年は、この直観を数学的に厳密に捉える研究にも取り組んでいます。力学系や情報理論、自由エネルギー原理といった枠組みを手がかりに、本物のエージェント——固有の個体性をもち、目的に向かい、世界へ働きかける存在——を、あたかも目的をもつかのように「振る舞うだけ」のシステムから区別するものは何かを問います。目指しているのは、自然と人工の双方にまたがる、基盤（素材）に依存しない行為主体性の理解です。それによって、あるシステムを「エージェントだ」と呼ぶことが、単なる私たちの記述の仕方ではなく、そのシステム自身の内在的な組織化を映し出している——そう言えるのはどんなときなのかを、明らかにしたいと考えています。`

473    summary: {
474      en: `An associate professor with over 15 years of interdisciplinary research experience, dedicated to understanding the fundamental principles of life and mind through a constructive approach. My work bridges Artificial Life, Embodied Cognition, and Consciousness Science by developing novel experimental platforms that merge virtual reality, deep learning, and computational modeling. I investigate the mechanisms of bodily perception, the sense of self, and altered states of consciousness — notably through the "Hallucination Machine" for computational-neurophenomenology studies — with a track record of major research grants (e.g. JST CREST) and high-impact publications.`,
475      ja: `構成論的なアプローチから、生命と心の根本原理の解明に取り組んできました。15年以上にわたる学際的な研究を通じて、人工生命・身体性認知・意識科学を横断し、バーチャルリアリティ・深層学習・計算モデリングを融合した新しい実験プラットフォームを開発しています。身体知覚・自己感・変性意識のメカニズムを、とりわけ計算論的神経現象学のための「幻覚機械（Hallucination Machine）」を通じて研究してきました。JST CREST をはじめとする大型研究費の獲得や、インパクトの高い学術誌での論文発表の実績があります。`
