Dr Tanaka is primarily interested in phenomenology and psychology, more specifically, in clarifying the theoretical foundations of psychology from the perspective of embodiment, inspired by the ideas of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. His publications encompass a broad range of issues, including body schema, body image, skill acquisition, embodied self, social cognition, theory of mind, and intercorporeality.

His recent publications include, 'Intercorporeality and Aida' (Theory & Psychology, 27, 337-353), 'What is it like to be disconnected from the body?' (Journal of Consciousness Studies, 25, 239-262) and other articles.
