Elena Partesotti is a professor at the University of Valladolid and research collaborator at NICS (UNICAMP) working at the intersection of music technology, music education, therapy, and inclusive interaction design. She holds an International PhD Cum Laude in Music Technology applied to Music Therapy, awarded jointly by the University of Valladolid and the University of Campinas (UNICAMP, Brazil), where she patented E-MOCOMU — an Extended Digital Musical Instrument (EDMI) for therapeutic and artistic use — and pioneered the application of Digital Musical Instruments in music therapy. She later developed BehCreative, a multimodal EDMI that turns the human body into an interactive instrument, through a collaboration between the Brazilian Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology (BRAINN) and the Interdisciplinary Nucleus for Sound Studies (NICS) at UNICAMP, where she conducted postdoctoral research supported by a FAPESP fellowship. She serves as Associate Editor of the International Journal of Art Therapy and, since 2024, is a member of the international Accessible Digital Music Network.

Coralie Vincent is an engineer at the CNRS (France’s national scientific research centre). She serves as the coordinator of the experimental aspects of the ‘Sound/Music & Health’ research axis at Ircam’s Science & Technology for Music and Sound lab. Her work involves designing and developing devices that integrate human-computer interaction and auditory perception, with a focus on applications in well-being and healthcare.

Emma Frid is a researcher and engineer focused on music and audio technology, accessibility, and multimodal interface design. She received her PhD in Sound and Music Computing from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in 2020, with a thesis entitled “Diverse Sounds – Enabling Inclusive Sonic Interaction”. Emma is the author of the first comprehensive review of Accessible Digital Musical Instruments (ADMIs) and is an IAAP Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC). Before joining Université Paris 8 (CICM | MUSIDANSE), she conducted research at IRCAM STMS Lab (Paris), Sound and Music Computing Group (KTH, Stockholm), Adobe Research (San Francisco), and IDMIL Input Devices and Music Interaction Laboratory (McGill, Montréal).
