Rate My Professor Hakuei Fujiyama

Fujiyama's research centers on cognitive neuroscience, focusing on the neurophysiological mechanisms of age-related changes in cognitive and motor functions, neuroplasticity, psychology of ageing, and non-invasive brain stimulation methods including transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). His studies investigate functional connectivity alterations contributing to declines in response inhibition and sensorimotor integration among older adults, with applications toward alleviating dementia-related impairments and enhancing mental health outcomes. He has authored over 70 publications, accumulating more than 2,700 citations on Google Scholar. Notable works include 'Age-Related Changes in Frontal Network Structural and Functional Connectivity in Relation to Bimanual Movement Control' (Journal of Neuroscience, 2016), 'Preconditioning tDCS Facilitates Subsequent tDCS Effect on Skill Acquisition in Older Adults' (2017), 'Modulating Functional Connectivity with Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation for Improved Sensorimotor Integration' (Brain Stimulation, 2019), 'Beta tACS of Varying Intensities Differentially Affect Resting-State EEG' (Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2024), 'Repeated Application of Bifocal Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation' (Cerebral Cortex, 2025), and 'Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback Improves Co-Occurring Depression and Anxiety Symptoms' (Journal of Affective Disorders, 2025). Fujiyama has received grants such as the Dementia Australia Research Foundation Project Grant (2018) and Neurotrauma Research Program funding. His contributions include developing data-driven methods for gender-balanced conference speaker selection and supervising doctoral and honours theses on brain stimulation effects.
