Human brain science for the future
Super aging society, increasing disasters, and ‘smart’ society to come; how do these environmental and social changes affect our lives and values? From the perspective of cognition and brain science, we aim to make proposals on the future of human life, technology and society.
202505.26 Individual differences in brain activity during watching disaster prevention videos: Disaster awareness and educational effects (Conference oral presentation) Posted in RESEARCH
Attachments
Video is an important tool for disaster education. How are individual differences in disaster awareness and educational effectiveness reflected in brain activity during video viewing? We identified a positive correlation between brain activity and disaster awareness in the medial frontal lobe and a negative correlation between brain activity and educational effects in the sensorimotor cortex during viewing of a video recommending tsunami evacuation. These findings were presented at the 2025 Congress of the Japan Geoscience Union, and their potential application to the development of an objective index of disaster awareness and effective disaster education videos was discussed.
