| Research Abstract |
Members of this project inside and outside Japan have done research activities on their topics regarding the title of project : "Method of conveying speech signal through artificial hearing (Cooperative development among various languages based on international evaluation criteria) " for Heisei 8 to 10 (1996 to 1998 ) academic year. Then, through mutual visits and meetings for exchange of results on each other topics, adaptability of evaluation results of perception ability among speech of different languages have been discussed.
