The Society for Tokyo Young Psychologists (STYP) is a local academic association around Tokyo that originated from the Department of Psychology, Waseda University, and are being run by quite young generations of psychologists including graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. Undergraduate students are also eligible to present posters.

This year, we had a totally face-to-face conference for the first time since 2019. There were obviously larger number of posters than in previous several years in which the meetings were totally online, which allowed us to catch the latest trends of the scientific progress. From Miyata Lab, we presented four posters as follows:
