Outline of Final Research Achievements

Visual speech cue is important for speech perception. In this study, we focus on formant frequency as acoustic information that visual speech cue conveys. To investigate how to use formant information from articulation, we record EEG and ECoG using synthesized vowels which differs only formant frequency.
In healty adult EEG, there was no significant difference among vowels. On the other hand, ECoG channels on the left posterior superior temporal gyrus showed significant differences among vowels in 200 ms after sound onset in audio-only condition. These significant differences disappeared in audio-visual condition. This result indicated that visual information may change neural response to sound in vicinity of auditory cortex.
