私たちの「感じる力」と物理的な世界をつなぎ、モノや体験をより豊かにする——それが感性設計学です。柳澤秀吉（東京大学）は、錯覚や予測する脳の仕組みを数理モデルで解き明かし、人の心を動かすデザインの可能性を語ります。How can we design objects and experiences that truly move the human heart? Hideyoshi Yanagisawa (The University of Tokyo) introduces Sensory Design Science — a field that bridges human perception and physical reality using mathematical models of the brain’s predictions and surprises. He advocates “Kansei Design Studies,” a new field that extends the scope of engineering design to human sensitivity. Kansei Design Studies, which extends the scope of engineering design to human sensibility, is being proposed and developed as a new field of study. It is characterized by an approach that mathematically models sensitivity This approach is characterized by its ability to mathematically model sensitivity from the principles of the brain, He is developing socially collaborative research that applies this approach. 東京大学工学系研究科准教授。東京大学大学総合教育研究センター准教授を兼務。 エンジニアリングデザインの対象を人の感性にまで拡張した「感性設計学」を提唱し、新分野として開拓している。 脳の原理から感性を数学的にモデル化するアプローチを特徴とし、それを応用した社会連携研究を展開している。 日本感性工学会副会長。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

株式会社チームボックス代表取締役、日本オリンピック委員会（JOC）サービスマネージャー、そして早稲田大学ラグビー部元監督・中竹竜二氏が語る、フォロワーシップを貫く「まとめない」ことで強くなるチームのあり方。衝突や自己開示が成功の鍵を握るリーダー観を日本一にチームを導いた経験を交えて話しながら、組織における「破壊と超回復」の重要性を伝える。Ryuji Nakatake, CEO of Teambox co. ltd., Service Manager at the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC), and former head coach of the Waseda University Rugby Team, shares his insights on how a team grows stronger not by being unified, but by embracing its differences as maintaining followership. Through his experience of making his team the champions of Japan, he explores a leadership style where conflict and self-disclosure are not obstacles, but keys to success, while highlighting the importance of “destruction and supercompensation” in organizations. Captain of the Waseda University Rugby Club, graduated from the University of Leicester Graduate School in the UK. After working at Mitsubishi Research Institute, he led his alma mater to two consecutive victories as coach. He is involved in coaching training at the JOC. He is also the representative of teambox, which trains business executives. 早稲田大学ラグビー部主将、英国レスター大学大学院修了。三菱総研を経て母校監督として二連覇を達成。JOCにて全競技の指導者育成に従事。経営幹部育成を行うチームボックス代表を務める。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

私たちの繊細な日々は、一度失えば全くの元通りになることはない。それでも私たちは日常に慣れ続け、世界中のあらゆる事象を他人事のように忘れていく。それがいつか自分事になった時、私たちはやっと慣れの恐ろしさに気づくのだろうか。Our delicate daily lives, once disrupted, can never truly return to what they were. And yet, we continue to grow accustomed to our routines, gradually forgetting events around the world as if they were someone else’s concern. Will it only be when those events become our own that we finally realize the terrifying power of becoming numb? Graduated from the College of Performing Arts, National Taiwan University of Arts.

We’re entering the golden age of mid-sized cities, redux of new localism, revolutions in tech and finance - a true goldilocks zone. The crux of this era is agency. Smaller cities have agency without consequence; while bigger cities don’t have agency and major consequences. Citizens of mid-sized cities feel empowered to make a difference and do consequential things. Tim Kelly is the 66th mayor of Chattanooga.

In a world driven by digital notifications, mobile apps, and inbox overload — does traditional physical mail still matter? Andrew Young, a longtime innovator in customer communication technologies, explores why physical mail remains a vital — and often misunderstood — part of how businesses connect with people. Drawing on decades of work in digital adoption and paper suppression, he reveals how the mailbox still plays a surprising role in today's digital transformation strategies.As the founder of Treeline Research and former global product leader at Ricoh, Andrew has helped shape the evolution of communications — from PDFs to omnichannel platforms. In this talk, he challenges assumptions, shares overlooked data, and asks us to reconsider what we’ve left behind in the rush to digital.This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
