Shinichi Furuya , the neuroscientist in Sony labs who also doubles as a pianist .. telling us about the ceiling effect and sustainable development of skills .. for example you can train fingers to play faster AND the other untrained hand automatically moves as well! The exoskeleton training can overcome the ceiling effect!

Elisabeth André telling us about a system that helps visually impaired people to get tactile feedback when they fixate on something to help them get an experience closer to seeing .. and another system that gives you audio cues whether it’s a good idea to engage in social interactions or not in a large unknown group of people .. another system to train children with autism to do do movements using a tandem virtual character
