Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we aimed to design and develop an information device that can be flexibly used even if the cognitive / linguistic function is deteriorated or in the process of development. Specifically, we improved the prototype of "digital pacifier" which has already been developed and clarify the usability of the device as an information input device which operates at the lip part. In parallel we conducted developmental cognitive neuroscience experiment and device improvement. The point of this research is that the device evaluation tests were conducted for infants who are developing.
