About
Harunobu Taguchi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human augmentation, assistive technology, and live performance. His work focuses on transcending bodily limitations, particularly for individuals with severe motor impairments, by designing novel human-computer interaction systems. Taguchi’s most notable contribution is the "Brain Body Jockey project," which enables musicians with advanced Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis to engage with audiences during live performances through adaptive, body-driven interfaces. This collaboration between a professional DJ and technologists demonstrates how cybernetic augmentation can restore expressive agency where traditional physical interaction is impossible. Though early in its citation impact (4 citations in 2024), the project has already garnered attention for its profound implications in accessibility, performance art, and embodied interaction. Taguchi’s research challenges conventional boundaries between disability and ability, offering a compelling vision of how technology can empower creative expression. His work is essential reading for those interested in human augmentation, inclusive design, and the future of live performance.
