Life in the Lab

Members of Prof. Nishihara Lab. were assigned their individual desks and computers at room #822 of the Ookayama West #9 Building, which was built in May 2004, and were able to use the network resources at Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Take a look at the photos of the 822 room.

We had two seminars per week. In seminars, students presented and discussed on their study/work on signal processing or educational technology.
