==Research== Motai's papers address fundamental and applied problems of sensory intelligence, which relate to specific application domains such as medical imaging, pattern recognition, computer vision, sensory-based robotic and biomedical applications. The majority of his 39 papers were published in ''IEEE Transactions'', in 1) sensory Intelligence, focused on 2) adaptive prediction and 3) online classification methodologies:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.people.vcu.edu/~ymotai/publication.html |title=Yuichi Motai - Publication |publisher=People.vcu.edu |access-date=2017-02-23}}</ref> *Sensory Intelligence: Fundamentals of robotic vision and data-intensive computing. * Adaptive Prediction: Kalman filter bank, Optimized prediction, Time sequences signals. * Online Classification: Kernel feature analysis, Neural networks, Deep learning. * Radiation Oncology: Medical imaging, 4D Cone beam computed tomography, 4D MRI. * Radiology: Computer-Aided Diagnosis, Distributed Database Network, Virtual colonoscopy. Specific applications such as Radiation Oncology and Radiology were chosen based on his collaborator's expertise.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.people.vcu.edu/~ymotai/research.html |title=Yuichi Motai - Research |publisher=People.vcu.edu |access-date=2017-02-16}}</ref>

==Teaching== Motai has offered more than 10 different courses. The 4 fields he teaches in are Pattern Recognition, Automatic Control, Dynamic and Multivariable Systems, Signals and Systems I<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.people.vcu.edu/~ymotai/teaching.html |title=Yuichi Motai - Teaching |publisher=People.vcu.edu |access-date=2017-02-16}}</ref>
