Abstract
How does the brain process information when humans transform sensory input, such as visual information, into bodily movement? Hiroaki Gomi, a visiting senior distinguished researcher at NTT Communication Science Laboratories, is exploring the fundamental mechanisms behind this process through computational model simulations and analyses of animal brain activity. He is also pursuing research and development of haptic-device systems that can help people with visual impairments navigate urban environments safely. In this interview, we asked him about his recent research achievements, his vision for the future, and the insights he has gained from also serving as a university professor.
Abstract
As Internet data traffic continues to increase, technological advancements are continuously driving the development of communication technologies that are faster and offer higher capacity. However, handling the exponential increase in data traffic��for reasons such as the digitalization of business, growth of cloud services, popularization of remote work, and advancement in artificial intelligence��cannot be achieved overnight, even through continual technological innovation. For this article, we spoke with Distinguished Researcher Masanori Nakamura, a leading figure in ultra-high-speed optical modulation and demodulation technology, which is being researched and developed for handling the current increase in Internet traffic.
