Challenge to Achieve Communication that Reaches the Heart

Abstract

With the aim of achieving communication that reaches the heart, researchers at NTT Communication Science Laboratories have been exploring the essence of communication since its founding 30 years ago. They have been creating technologies that approach and exceed human abilities in such fields as media processing and data science. They have also been discovering basic principles that lead to a deeper understanding of humans in fields such as cognitive neuroscience and brain science. This article introduces some of the laboratories’ activities in pursuit of the essence of communication.
