项目摘要

The purpose of this research is to create sensory substitute systems based on biomedical acoustics. The research results are shows as follows.1. A new tactile aide method for the deaf was proposed. In this method, speech spectral patterns were swept on a fingertip as convex patterns for vowels and vibration patterns for consonants. This method was proven to dramatically increase the speech recognition rate.2. An electro-larynx which has a function of intonation control by using expiration pressure was designed for people who have lost their larynx. This prosthesis was found to be very beneficial in producing normal sounding speech. This was developed for practical use in cooperation with an electronic company.3. A tinnitus suppresser which stimulates the cochlear nerves was designed and some effects of the electrical stimulation to the cochlea were made clear. We have implanted the tinnitus suppresser for seven patients. It was proven that they could suppress the tinnitus by themselves whenever the tinnitus appeared.4. The mechanism of obstacle sense of the blind was clarified based on psychophysical experiments. The obstacle sense was found to be explained by the following phenomena : preceding effect, correlation of two sound signals obtained from both ears, and coloration. The findings will be applied to rehabilitation for the blind.5. A voice typewriter was designed for the acquired deaf. In the voice typewriter, 68 Japanese monosyllabic voices were converted into Japanese letters. It's response time was 0.2 sec and the recognition rate was about 96%. The prototype of the voice typewriter was developed about 17 years ago. However, the prototype was too expensive for the deaf to buy. In the research, we could improve on the design of a small and cheap voice typewriter for practical use.

这项研究的目的是创建基于生物医学声学的感觉替代系统。研究结果如下： 1．提出了一种新的聋人触觉辅助方法。在该方法中，语音频谱模式在指尖上扫过，作为元音的凸模式和辅音的振动模式。该方法被证明可以显着提高语音识别率。 2．一种具有利用呼气压力控制语调功能的电子喉，是为失去喉部的人设计的。人们发现这种假肢对于发出正常的语音非常有益。这是与一家电子公司合作开发的实用产品。3．设计了一种刺激耳蜗神经的耳鸣抑制器，并明确了电刺激对耳蜗的一些影响。我们已经为七名患者植入了耳鸣抑制器。事实证明，只要出现耳鸣，他们就能自行抑制耳鸣。 4．基于心理物理学实验阐明了盲人障碍感的机制。人们发现障碍感可以通过以下现象来解释：先行效应、从双耳获得的两个声音信号的相关性以及染色。研究结果将应用于盲人康复。5．语音打字机是为后天聋人设计的。在语音打字机中，68个日语单音节语音被转换成日语字母。其响应时间为0.2秒，识别率约为96%。语音打字机的原型机是在大约 17 年前开发出来的。然而，原型机对于聋人来说太贵了，无法购买。在研究中，我们可以改进小型廉价语音打字机的设计以供实际使用。
