Outline of Final Research Achievements

Information if it were noticed among the own heart was examined the way of the information presented to be felt as obtained. We are focused on human beings are used as a tool of thought "monologue" and "inner reading voices", creating a pseudo inner reading voice presentation device. Then, it carried out basic experiments to change the accuracy of understanding and judgment information. The pseudo inner reading voice presentation device to reproduce the spectral information that is heard in the utterance's head was constructed.Furthermore, the problem experiment to count the number, when added to simulated the words presented as stimulation, was revealed to be able to induce the count. This showed that it is possible to unconscious induction by the pseudo inner reading voices presented.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

学術的には無意識的誘導の基礎研究と情報提示の新しい手法としての側面として，容易に与えることのできる音声刺激の新しい可能性と脳内での言語/非言語処理のメカニズム解明として新たな知見が得られた．社会的意義としては，自律性や主体感に悪影響を及ぼしている現在のICT技術の問題に対して，自律性や主体感についてあたかも自身の心のなかで気づきが得られたように感じさせ、情報の理解・判断の精度や関与感を向上させる技術の可能性、及びその倫理的側面の問題提起についての検討をすることができた．
