Informational WellbeingProject
情報ウェルビーイングプロジェクト
We aim to realize a state in which each individual can achieve
the "health" they seek in the information environment
that forms the foundation of democratic society.
In digital spaces dominated by the attention economy,
we promote healthy information consumption
by preventing information "binge eating" and "unbalanced diets."
Research Overview
We explore the ideal state of the modern information space, which faces serious problems such as mis/disinformation and cognitive warfare, and establish support methods and evaluation approaches for realizing the information environment that users aspire to.
