Hiroki Nakata is affiliated with Nara Women's University in Japan and has a research profile spanning multiple fields primarily within medicine and engineering. Their work extensively covers cognitive neuroscience, orthopedics and sports medicine, developmental and educational psychology, biomedical engineering, and physiology as subfields of study.

The main areas of Nakata's research focus on sports performance and training, thermoregulation and physiological responses, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, sports dynamics and biomechanics, infrared thermography in medicine, neural and behavioral psychology studies, and neuroscience and music perception.

Nakata has contributed to several recent publications including:

  • Effects of passive heat stress and recovery on human cognitive function: An ERP study, 2021, PLoS ONE
  • Modality differences in ERP components between somatosensory and auditory Go/No-go paradigms in prepubescent children, 2021, PLoS ONE

Other notable papers relevant to the scientific context in which Nakata operates include:

  • Relative Age Effects in Male Japanese Professional Athletes: a 25-Year Historical Analysis, 2020, Sports Medicine - Open
  • Differences in the neural networks of thermal sensation with and without evaluation process, 2022, IBRO Neuroscience Reports
  • The relationship between pitching parameters and release points of different pitch types in major league baseball players, 2023, Frontiers in Sports and Active Living

Frequent collaborators with Nakata include Manabu Shibasaki, Tatsuhiko Aizawa, Motoko Fujiwara, Chiaki Ohtaka, and Takeshi Nasu. Their research has been published in multiple scientific venues, notably Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, PLoS ONE, The FASEB Journal, Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, and Brain Sciences.

Nakata has also contributed to book publications, such as the 2023 title "Heat Transfer - Advances in Fundamentals and Applications [Working Title]" published by IntechOpen.
