My study is interested in the effect of visual experience on the development of behavior in cuttlefish.
To gain the insight of visual experiences of cuttlefish, camouflage performance, background preference,
and neural plasticity during the brain development have been undertaken in the cuttlefish, Sepia pharaonis.
My study is included lab and field works. Aquaculture and visual ecology of cephalopod are the other
important topics in my research.
