Akane Sano [akanes at mit.edu] [cv] Akane Sano is a Ph.D student in affective computing group, Media Lab, MIT. Her backgrounds are biomedical engineering and computer science. Her research interests are health care studies, data mining, signal processing, wearable sensors and probablistic models. She works on l1) monitoring long-term physiological and behavioral signals that can be measured in daily life with mobile phones and wearable sensors l2) estimating and predicting health and affective condition using sensor signals to develop the system to keep people healthy. She has been measuring and analyzing signals such as EEG, ECG, EMG, EDA, blood pressure, activity and GPS data for personal health care and human computer interface. She obtained B.Eng. in 2003 and M.Eng. in 2005 from Keio University, Japan, where she mainly worked on EEG and EMG during motor control for Brain Computer Interface. She was a research assistant in laboratory for advanced signal processing, Brain Science Institute, RIKEN, Japan from 2003 to 2005 and a visiting student in center for sensory motor interaction, Aalborg university, Denmark from 2004 to 2005. From 2005 to 2011, she had been working for Sony corporation, Japan. She was working on research and development in fields of physiological and behavioral signal processing and sensors, and applications for human computer interface and personal health care. Besides research, she likes sports, especially tennis, travelling and playing music.
