本企画では、マルチスレッドの同時並列処理を人体で体感できる。体験では暗算と同時に右手と左手で別々の指示に従いボタンを押すゲームを行う。体験者は指示内容を把握するが、暗算に集中しながら同時に正解ボタンを押すのは困難である。そこで押す過程を機器に代行させ、かつ指先への圧覚提示や聴覚刺激等で予測通りに正解ボタンが押される感覚を生み「自分で押したように感じさせる(運動主体感)」ことで3タスクの同時並列処理感覚を生む。更に、3タスクへの意識の分散は運動主体感発生を助長する。マルチタスクに対する人間の感覚・想定の心理的拡張が期待される。さあコンピュータの処理感覚を体験しましょう！

In this project, it is possible to physically experience multi-threaded parallel processing within the human body. In the experience, participants engage in a game where they perform mental calculations while simultaneously pressing buttons according to separate instructions with their right and left hands. While participants understand the instructions, it is challenging to press the correct button at the same time as concentrating on the mental calculation. To address this challenge, a device takes over the button-pressing process and generates the sensation that the correct button is pressed as expected by providing tactile feedback to the fingertips and auditory stimulation, among other methods, thereby creating a feeling of "having pressed the correct button by oneself (sense of agency)." In consequence, a sensation of concurrently processing the three tasks occurs. Furthermore, the dispersion of consciousness across these three tasks contributes to the generation of the sense of agency. This project is expected to psychologically extend human perception and assumptions regarding multitasking. Now, let's experience the sensation of computer processing by your body!
