About

Hiromu Mori is a researcher specializing in tactile brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), with a focus on developing novel, non-visual control systems for assistive and interactive technologies. His work centers on harnessing somatosensory evoked potentials — brain responses triggered by tactile stimulation — as a foundation for intuitive, multi-command BCI platforms. Mori's most significant contributions explore the feasibility of using tactile stimuli delivered to multiple body locations, including the ten fingertips and chest positions, to enable users to control robotic vehicles through thought-guided interaction alone. This research is particularly noteworthy for its accessibility: by targeting BCI-naive subjects, Mori demonstrates that meaningful control can be achieved without prior training, broadening the potential user base for assistive technologies. His chest-based BCI system, which maps five stimulation sites to navigational commands, offers a promising alternative for individuals with limited hand mobility. With cumulative citations across his 2013 publications reaching into the mid-twenties, Mori's work has garnered meaningful attention within the BCI research community. His contributions represent an important step toward practical, embodied BCI systems that move beyond screen-based paradigms into real-world robotic applications.
