Kenji Kojima

Kenji Kojima is an esteemed game audio programmer at Capcom, where he helps lead the sound program team. He studied music engineering at Osaka University of Arts, where he focused on auditory perception from the perspective of experimental psychology, and later researched sound at Doshisha University.
He has contributed to game production for titles like Resident Evil 7 while also working on the in-house game sound engine as an architect, and R&D related to sound such as acoustic simulation in virtual 3D spaces. He is passionate about realistic sound experience beyond reality and music that moves the heart.

Rie Matsunaga

Rie Matsunaga is an Associate Professor of Cognitive Science in the Department of Psychology at Kanagawa University. Her research has centered on processing mechanisms of melody perception, in particular tonality perception – i.e., how listeners perceive a sense of tonality for a given tone sequence. She and her colleagues pursue this issue from both cross-cultural and developmental viewpoints, using behavioral, neuroimaging, and computational approaches. Her current focus is the acquisition process of culture-specific tonality schemas.
