Yoichi Nagashima, composer/researcher/PE, was born in 1958 in Japan. 
He learned and played some instruments: violin, recorder, guitar, keyboards, electric bass, drums, and vocal/choral music for 43 years. He was the conductor of Kyoto University Choir and composed over 100 choral music, and studied nuclear physics there. As the engineer of Kawai Musical Instruments, he developed some sound generator LSIs, and designed some electronic musical instruments, and produced musical softwares. From 1991, He has been the director of "Art & Science Laboratory" in Japan Hamamatsu, produces many interactive tools of realtime music performance with sensor/MIDI, cooperates some researchers and composers, and composes experimentally pieces. He is also the key-member of Japanese computer music community. From 2000, he has been also the associate professor of SUAC(Shizuoka University of Art and Culture), Faculty of Design, Department of Art and Science, and teaches multimedia, computer music and media art. As a composer of computer music, he collaborates many musicians in his composition: Piano, Organ, Percussion, Vocal, Flute, Sho, Koto, Shakuhachi, Dance, Percussion, etc. He organized and was the General Chair of NIME04. He became a professor on April 2007. He organized a tutorial “Parallel Processing Platform for Interactive Systems Design” at ICEC2009 (Paris).

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<blockquote>
This is a lecture intended for the designer of the entertainment system. As a platform of an interactive entertainment system, it was popular to use "sensor+Gainer" with Max. However Gainer had retired in 2015, and now there are many solutions using Arduino family. The 1st point of this lecture is how to develop Arduino system not as low-level "stand-alone" system but as high-level "Max7 peripheral" system. The participants will learn two main technique - "Firmata+Maxuino" and “original Arduino2Max".
<p>
The 2nd point of this lecture is how to use "bio" sensors. To resist the boom of image recognition system like Kinect, I want to suggest to use bio-sensors and tactile sensors in entertainment computing. I introduce some special techniques to use Myo, MUSE and OpenBCI sensors and our original "VPP-SUAC" bio-sensor system. I also introduce how to interface the unique "PAW" tactile sensor via mbed to Max7. This is not "sitting/hearing" lecture, but a kind of "hands-on" workshop with participants' computer. Basically "Mac+Max7" people will be better, however "Windows+PureData" people can learn the essence.
