研究実績の概要 |
1.Literature Review: I conducted an extensive review of relevant literature on phonological asymmetries, cross-linguistic studies of pitch contrasts, and electrophysiological methodologies. (April to August 2023), 2. Experimental Design: I designed experimental paradigms for the planned two main studies, refining auditory-visual semantic priming experiments for the ERP study and developing a passive oddball paradigm for the MMN study. From this stage, I collaborated with Dr. Michele Gubian at the university of Munich, Prof. Dr. Bettina Braun and Prof. Dr. Carsten Eulitz. (August-November). 3. Stimulus Preparation: I prepared stimuli for both experiments while based in Germany, receiving valuable programming assistance from my collaborators (December - January 2024). 4. EEG Setup: I set up EEG equipment in Germany, ensuring readiness to start gathering data. This comprehensive approach demonstrates meticulous preparation and attention to detail, leveraging resources effectively in the German academic environment (January) 5. Collaboration: I collaborated with the aforementioned researchers for programming support and utilized resources at the respective universities enhancing the robustness and interdisciplinary nature of our research efforts.
Moving forward, I am poised to commence data collection and analysis, leveraging our collaborative efforts, technical expertise, and preparedness.

理由
The literature review phase of the research project has been completed successfully. Extensive efforts were made to thoroughly review relevant literature on phonological asymmetries, cross-linguistic studies of pitch contrasts, and electrophysiological methodologies. The review provided a solid theoretical foundation for the research objectives and guided the development of experimental designs. The experimental design phase of the project has been meticulously executed. The designs were carefully tailored to address the research questions and ensure the validity and reliability of the experimental outcomes. Stimuli for both experiments were meticulously prepared while based in Germany, with valuable programming assistance received from Michele Gubian. The stimuli were designed to elicit specific responses relevant to the research objectives and were tailored to the linguistic characteristics of each language group. The setup of EEG equipment was completed successfully in Germany, ensuring readiness to commence data collection. This included configuring the EEG equipment, conducting calibration tests, and preparing the experimental environment for data acquisition. The setup process was conducted with careful consideration of technical specifications and experimental requirements, laying a solid foundation for data collection and analysis. Effective communication and collaboration with my collaborators facilitated the smooth execution of experimental procedures and enhanced the interdisciplinary nature of the research project.
