Advanced Study of Mathematical Sciences Ⅱ

Illusionology and Mathematical Sciences (in Japanese)

Contents: The phenomenon　“Illusion” appears in human perception and cognition. It is the distortion of understanding of things that are different from the facts. The mechanism of the phenomenon remains still unknown.　 In this lecture series, we will focus on the phenomena, “Illusions”, and think over the observation of the phenomena, understanding of mechanisms, applications for our daily life. In particular, we will study not only “Illusions” of the senses, but misunderstanding in communication / irrational buying behavior by advertisements. The common basis of them will be considered broadly. At the same time, we will search whether the phenomena and the structures can be used to enhance security for our daily life and society. In addition, through the lectures, we will study the contribution to our fulfilling daily life taking advantage of the phenomenon and structure to entertainment.
The lectures will cover the following “Illusions” mainly. In the field of visualization, we will focus on observation of optical illusions (perception of shapes and colors, perception of three-dimensional objects and illusion of motions), mathematical models of the mechanism and the new designing methods. In the field of communication, the role and the use of “Illusions” in dialogues including between human and computers will be considered. In the field of behavioral economics, from mathematical perceptions, we will focus on the relationship between advertising and consumer behaviors.
Plans: 　This lecture series will be given in omnibus style by top leading researchers in the fields of psychology, information sciences, behavioral economics, intelligent informatics, mathematical sciences, mathematical engineering and so forth about the “Illusions” in broad sense from interdisciplinary perspectives.
