Sugiura教授の研究室では、脳の記憶と意識の神経基盤を解明するため、特に個人的になじみのある場所や対象の認識にかかわる脳機能を、fMRIを用いた行動神経科学的手法で解明しています。特に後頭内側前頭外側皮質（PCC）の機能的分野と、空間的記憶と非空間的記憶の神経機構の違いに注目しています。また、信念や信仰の認知神経科学的基盤についても、感情と認知の統合的プロセスとしての「信じる」プロセスのモデル化を進めています。

The recognition of both personally familiar objects and places involves nonspatial memory retrieval processes, but only personally familiar places are represented as space. Although the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) is considered to process both types of such memories, its functional organization is poorly understood. In this event-related fMRI study, normal subjects judged familiar/unfamiliar pictures in four categories: familiar places (FP), familiar objects (FO), unfamiliar places (UP), an
Departing from the long debates on the role of faith/belief, recent interdisciplinary research has turned to characterize the features of the psychophysical processes underlying believing. Here we review recent cognitive neuroscience models of the believing process and propose a conceptual framework that integrates current theoretical and empiric knowledge about the processes of believing. There are theories that elegantly explain believing as a self-organization process of cognitive and emotion
