  • Overview of the Project

     

    Our projects aim to unveil the cognitive processes in program comprehension as the unique higher cognitive function.

    It is mainly consisted of three approaches: brain activity analysis, gaze behavior analysis, and modeling.


    As the new projects, we are introducing other modalities, including ECG (not EEG).
    Please stay tuned!!

    Brain Activity Analysis

    We are aiming to unveil the mechanism of neural processing during program comprehension with an fMRI scanner.

    Modeling Approach

    We are modeling the process of program comprehension.
    Currently, we are using existing attention models for source code like code2vec, etc.
    We will evaluate the validity of models through comparison with the gaze behavior of human subjects.

    Gaze Behavior Analysis

    We are conducting experiments with an eye tracker to elucidate attended components in source code.
