Analysis of rhythmic structures of real-time communication

研究了听觉时间知觉与视觉时间知觉的关系。 在听觉模态中经常观察到的时间间隔短于1 s的（连续）填充持续时间也在视觉模态中建立，利用一种新型的刺激模式，其中使用随机点图。 从脑科学和心理物理学相结合的角度研究了两个相邻的由声脉冲标记的时间间隔是如何被感知为相等还是不相等的。 本研究对日、英、汉三种语言环境下幼儿言语的节奏模式进行了研究和比较。 英语言语交际的多模态分析尚处于探索阶段。

The relationship between auditory time perception and visual time perception was investigated. The (continuously-)filled-duration as observed frequently in the auditory modality for time intervals shorter than 1 s was established also in the visual modality utilizing a new type of stimulus patterns in which random-dot figures were used. How two adjacent time intervals marked by sound bursts were perceived as equal or unequal was investigated from a viewpoint on which brain science and psychophysics are merged. Rhythmic patterns of infants' speech in the linguistic environments of Japanese, English, and Chinese were studied and compared. Multimodal analyses of English speech communication are on a pilot stage.
