Invited Speakers

  • Makio Kashino , Head of Sports Brain Science Project @ NTT Communication Science Laboratories.

    Makio Kashino received his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in psychophysics from the University of Tokyo in 1987, 1989, and 2000. He joined NTT as a researcher in 1989. Currently, he is an NTT Fellow / Director of Sports Brain Science Project, NTT Communication Science Laboratories, and a Specially-Appointed Professor in the School of Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology. Using an interdisciplinary research approach bridging cognitive neuroscience and information and communication technology, Dr. Kashino has been studying the functional and neural mechanisms of human cognition, especially auditory perception, cross-modal and sensorimotor interaction, and interpersonal communication, not only in typical people, but also in people with autism spectrum disorder and elite athletes.

  • Tuukka Karvonen, Qoncept Inc.

    Tuukka Karvonen obtained his Ph.D. from Kyoto University, and is currently Chief Researcher at Qoncept, Inc., a VC company launched from Osaka University in 2008 that focuses on realtime computer vision solutions for scenarios such as markerless AR, recognition and tracking for sports, and VSLAM for autonomous robot movement. Tuukka’s research is in computer vision and machine learning, and current research interests include human pose estimation, human motion analysis and action recognition. He is also interested in solving the practical issues of applying such technologies in the field.
