Biography

Takako Fujioka is an Associate Professor of Music at Stanford University, specializing in auditory perception and its relationship with brain plasticity, development, and recovery from stroke. Her research prominently involves neural oscillations, auditory-motor coupling, and music-supported therapy. Her work utilizes non-invasive neurophysiological measures, including magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG), to explore the biological underpinnings of human musical ability. Fujioka obtained her Ph.D. from the Graduate University for Advanced Studies in Japan and has held various teaching appointments, including roles at the University of Toronto Mississauga and Waseda University. In addition, she has contributed to the field through extensive peer review activities for numerous respected journals and national grant competitions, demonstrating her commitment to advancing research in music perception and cognition.
