About
Naoto Fujita is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and rehabilitation robotics. His work primarily investigates how the human brain engages with assistive technologies, particularly through the lens of neurorehabilitation and human-robot interaction. Fujita’s major contributions center on elucidating the neural mechanisms underlying robot-assisted motor tasks, using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to map cortical activity. His landmark 2022 study, cited five times, revealed that the rostromedial prefrontal cortex plays a critical role in processing external information during exoskeleton-assisted upper-limb exercises—a finding that bridges social cognition and motor recovery. This work provides foundational evidence for designing more intuitive neurorehabilitation protocols that align with the brain’s natural attentional systems. By demonstrating how the central nervous system prioritizes external information-processing when interacting with robotic aids, Fujita has advanced our understanding of brain-machine interfaces. His research holds profound implications for stroke rehabilitation and assistive robotics, offering a neural roadmap for optimizing patient-robot collaboration. Fujita’s interdisciplinary approach continues to shape the future of personalized neurorehabilitation technologies.
