【Lab News】9 New Third-Year Students Join Ochi Lab

On Tuesday, March 24, 2026, nine new third-year students officially joined Ochi Lab during the 2026 academic year orientation.

When they first gathered together, the new members looked a little nervous — but we're sure they'll warm up quickly through upcoming self-introductions, our traditional Ochi Lab icebreaker session, and the lab's beloved esports tournament. We can't wait to see the room come alive!

Ochi Lab focuses on research themes including cognitive function, neuroscience, and sports conditioning. Over the next two years, these nine students will work alongside fourth-year students and graduate students on experiments, measurements, and thesis writing, diving into full-scale research activities.

The new cohort brings a diverse range of athletic backgrounds, including competitive swimming, track and field, soccer, and baseball. We look forward to seeing how each student's unique perspective and sporting experience enriches our research.

Welcome to Ochi Lab! Let's enjoy research and sports together!
