The Sports Brain Science Project, an NTT initiative that uses the latest technologies and brain science research to explore individual performance and skill, is currently carrying out a variety of experiments at its ‘Smart Bullpen’ in Atsugi City, Japan. Here, athletes are measured under conditions close to actual games. The experiment on batters’ predictions, featuring players from the Japan Softball League, reveals some of the secrets of top athletes.

Every child is unique in how they respond to certain kinds of teaching. For autistic children, being able to tailor the method of communication so it takes these individual characteristics into consideration is vital – and this is where innovation in technology can help. Advances in automation and AI mean we are increasingly able to create products and services tailored to individual needs, with NTT DATA’s AIDA – Artificial Intelligence Design for Autism – project a shining example of how technologies such as AI, IoT and VR can help school environments become more inclusive.

In the world of sports, much research has focused on improving the physical performance of athletes, leaving the mental side relatively unexamined in terms of technological augmentation. With new science, we’re able to look at brain functions in relation to athletic performance – and develop innovative training based on the findings. NTT is looking to a future where everyone can see their talent flourish and exercise their true potential; and where brain science, technology and sport can be united to increasingly improve our understanding of a healthy lifestyle.

To design new communication technology that really works – and works for everyone – it’s essential to deepen our understanding of human interaction. With last year marking the 30-year anniversary of NTT Communication Science Laboratories (CS Labs), the Vice President & Head of NTT CS Labs, Takeshi Yamada, reflects on how our understanding of communication has grown, through research in cognitive neuroscience and work with our partners, and what this means for people today.
