Exploration of eyewitness memory formation:What people see and remember by single glance

From our series of experiments, following results were obtained.1)When we observed any objects while curve driving, it was found by experiment that our eyes gazed tangent point (Land and Lee, 1994) or future path(lapping, 2014), that is our eyes pursuit the top point or the middle of the curvature, so we could not recognized and remember those objects in detail. 2)We investigated that in natural scene what kind of information form the scene is recognized and remembered.hen we use functional category of objects to recognize the objects, the accuracy and the speed of the recognition is almost same as when we use basic category. 3)If we only saw a target person briefly, the formation of the memory of the person was very poor. 4)The confidence of the eyewitness memory is easily influenced by the information about the memory ability of that person beforehand.

Functional dynamics of the cortical network regulating emotion and attention

To elucidate the dynamics of cortical network for attention and emotion control, we conducted the manipulation of local brain activity by repetitive transcranial stimulation (rTMS), and the wide-range simultaneous electrophysiological recordings. Concerning the attention control and working memory, we dissociated the function of the dorsolateral prefrontal and dorsal premotor cortices, each being involved in the sensory and motor aspect of attention and working memory. Concerning the emotion and mood regulations, we found the critical role of the ventromedial frontal cortex. And it was suggested that the malfunction of the ventromedial frontal cortex may lead to emotion and mood disorders, such as major depression. And especially for the control of attention and working memory, it was suggested that the top-down information flow from the frontal to posterior cortices may be playing a critical role.
