The aim of this event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study was to test whether the right middle frontal gyrus (MFG) and middle temporal gyrus (MTG) would show differential sensitivity to the effect of prime-target association strength on repetition priming. In the experimental condition (RP), the target occurred after repetitive presentation of the prime within an oddball ...

Environmental sounds are very helpful in understanding environmental situations and in telling the approach of danger, and sound-imitation words (sound-related onomatopoeia) are important expressions to inform such sounds in human communication, especially in Japanese language. In this paper, we design a method to recognize sound-imitation words (SIWs) for environmental sounds. Critical issues ...

Japanese onomatopoeias are very difficult for machines to recognize and translate into other languages due to their uniqueness. In particular, onomatopoeias that convey several meanings are very confusing for machine translation systems to distinguish and translate correctly. In this paper, we discuss what features are helpful in order to automatically disambiguate the meaning of onomatopoeias ...

This article describes the first part of a study aiming at adapting the mechanical car door construction to the drivers' expectancies in terms of perceived quality of cars deduced from car door sounds. A perceptual cartography of car door sounds is obtained from various listening tests aiming at revealing both ecological and analytical properties linked to evoked car quality. In the first test ...

In a previous work we presented a system for transcribing spoken rhythms into a symbolic score. Thereafter, the system was extended to process the vocal stream in real-time in order to allow a musician to use it as a voice-driven drum generator. Extensions to this work are the following. First we achieved a study of the system classification accuracy based on typical onomatopoeia used in wester...

The argument of this original and difficult book is that "gestures are an integral part of language as much as are words, phrases and sentencesgestures and language are one system" (p.2). Gestures are instantaneous, imagistic, analog, holistic expressions of the same thought that speech renders in hierarchical, linear, digital, analytic form.
