🧠👁️ Why can we often finish each other's sentences? It isn't just social intuition; it's a high-speed neurological process.

New eye-tracking #research from #Waseda University shows that our #brains act as "predictive engines," committing to a grammatical path long before a speaker provides all the words.

Interested in #gamedev? For the #Waseda #GameLab I am organizing the workshop “Possibility Spaces”.

Date: February 27, 2024
Time: 14:00 pm - 17:00 pm
Venue: Waseda University, Main Campus, Building 11, Room 705

The workshop will explore the role of spatial design in games and its contribution to a ludic epistemology. How do games create and structure possibility spaces? What forms of knowledge emerge through spatial configurations in play?

There is a lack of space for sport in Tokyo. Team and ball sports in particular can only be practiced in a few places. Efficient use of space is therefore a must, especially for schools. One of my university's high schools, which is located right next to the campus, uses the schoolyard and roofs for team sports.
