With a Master of Science degree from New York University and a doctorate in Biomedical Engineering from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Eric has published and presented numerous articles on the impact of virtual reality on cognitive function. At Tokyo-based Matia Labs, Inc. (マティアラボ), his ongoing research is centered on the development of next-generation cognitive training and physical rehabilitation systems that couple VR/MR-based interventions with advanced neurofeedback techniques. This innovative approach has the potential to make major contributions to diverse fields including remote learning, vocational training and general cognitive health, with a particular focus on improving mental resiliency and quality of life for our elderly populations.
