Driven By Data.

Insights.

Curiosity.

Hi, I’m Mai Tanaka

My expertise is in developing techniques and algorithms to decode neural data to understand how the human brain interprets and comprehends external stimuli, specifically auditory signals such as speech.

Which is a fancy way of saying that I design and write code to read your thoughts.

But I do much more than just read brains. Explore my website to find out!

That’s me running a marathon… marked up by the lime green skeleton-based kinematic model

Feel free to:

This is the personal website of Mai Tanaka, PhD, a curious mind with post-doc research experience in brain signal analysis.

Here you’ll find projects and blog posts that reflect Mai’s wide range of interests. From collecting and analyzing her own Fitbit running data while training for a marathon, to visualizing the Shikoku pilgrimage route by trekking over 1200 km with a GPS. From analyzing brain dynamics of people imagining speech, to discussing opinions and insights on fun scientific papers about the language of birds. From cool interactive maps, to step-by-step Python tutorials… not to mention access to all source code in Mai’s GitHub repositories.

You’ll find it all here.
