Dr. Yukie Nagai has been investigating underlying neural mechanisms for social cognitive development bymeans of computational approaches. She designs neural network models for robots to learn to acquirecognitive functions such as self-other cognition, estimation of others’ intention and emotion, altruism, andso on based on the theory of predictive coding. The simulator reproducing atypical perception in autism
spectrum disorder (ASD), which has been developed by her group, greatly impacts society as it enables
people with and without ASD to better understand potential causes for social difﬁculties. She was elected to“30 women in robotics you need to know about” in 2019, “World’s 50 Most Renowned Women in Robotics” in
2020, and “35 Women in Robotics Engineering and Science” in 2022. She serves as the principal investigatorof JST CREST “Cognitive Mirroring” and CREST “Cognitive Feeling” since December 2016 and October 2021,
respectively.
