About our Lab
The Nakamoto Laboratory is a part of the Physical Electronics Department of the Tokyo Institute of Technology.
Our major research interest is bioelectronics
, mainly related to chemical sensing system. It includes a variety of the fields from sensing materials to sensor information processing systems. This is an interdisciplinary area among electronics, computer science, chemistry, biology, fluid mechanics etc. The current interests encompass an odor sensing system, a sensor signal processing circuit (odor chip), an odor recorder and an olfactory display. Use the navigation bar on the left or links at the bottom of the page to find details about the research topics. Full list of the Laboratory members can be found here.
How to reach us?
Our Laboratory is located in one of three Institute's campuses - the O-okayama campus. The campus is easily accessible from down-town Tokyo and Yokohama. Below we list some usefull contact data and maps.

Site features
Currently our website is available in both Japanese and English languages. To switch between the languages use the language menu on the top of each page. Soon, we plan to add Polish language version of the site. Below you can find the top stories described in our site. Note that some of the topics and referring pages can be still under developement. If the content you are looking for is unavailable or scarce don't hesitate to ask us. We also would greatly appreciate your comments on our work and the website.

Odor sensing system Odor sensing system, called electronic nose or artificial olfaction, uses responses of the broadly tuned gas sensors and pattern recognition techniques to distinguish between different odors. More on the topic here. |
Odor recorder The odor recorder developed in our laboratory is an instrument capable of determining the qualitative and quantitative composition of the target smell (e.g. orange), so called odor recipe thst is used to reproduce the target smell at any time. Here are details. |
|
Sensor signal processing circuit The output pattern of multiple sensors is recognized in an odor sensing system. An odor recognition chip is an ASIC (Application Specific IC) for both measurement of sensor responses and pattern recognition. Here are the details on the topic. |
Olfactory display The olfactory display allows for presentation of olfactory stimuli in a predetermined fashion. Presentation of olfactory stimuli is proven to enrich any audio-visual content. Our work on the topic is described here |

References Results of our work have been subject of numerous publications. Complete list of references to our papers published since 1993 until today can be found here. |
Newspaper articles Our work has been subject of reports by media. List of major reports is presented here. |
