| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we focused on two subjects with respect to analysis of human brain activity for speech and language. (1) For analyzing auditory speech sound imagery, we employed squeeze-and-excitation networks, in order to select discriminative channels from time-frequency features with multiple channels. (2) For analyzing brain cortical activities related to auditory impressions, we improved the method of brain feature extraction based on common spatial pattern filters.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年，身体障がい者のコミュニケーション支援を目的として，音声認識や行動認識が用いられている．しかし，発話や身振りを使ったコミュニケーション手段を用いることが困難な身体障がい者も存在する．本研究期間にて，音声画像信号解析のみならず，脳神経計測による生理学的側面に注目した音声想起(意図理解)の研究を行った．得られた音声言語脳神経活動に関する解析結果はブレイン・コンピュータ・インターフェイスの実現にも資する成果である．
