About

Mikito Ogino is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human augmentation, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), and assistive robotics. His work focuses on transcending bodily limitations by integrating neural signals with robotic systems, enabling new forms of expression and interaction for individuals with severe motor impairments. Ogino’s most cited paper, “An EEG-based robot arm control to express human emotions” (2018, 11 citations), introduces a novel approach to prosthetic limb control that uses the wearer’s emotional states—detected via EEG—to drive natural, expressive movements, reducing the psychological discomfort often associated with robotic prosthetics. This work bridges affective computing and rehabilitation robotics, offering a more human-centered alternative to conventional motor-driven prostheses. More recently, his “Brain Body Jockey project” (2024, 4 citations) demonstrates the real-world impact of his research through a collaboration with a professional DJ living with advanced ALS. By developing a system that allows the musician to control interactive performance elements using brain signals, Ogino’s work not only advances assistive technology but also redefines artistic expression and live performance for individuals with profound physical disabilities.
