A Study of Motion-voice Synchronization

抄録

Synchronization between movement and voice is indispensable for both communication among people and improvement of the efficiency of joint working The first object of this research is to develop a quantitative and objective analysis method for movement-voice synchronization by introducing an image analysis method using computers. As an example, mother-neonate (new-born baby) communication, which is one of the primitive forms of communication, is selected as an object to be studied. Secondly, a model of the mother-neonate communication is proposed. The model depends upon the control theory, and its fundamental mechanism is discussed. It is considered that this study will give us a key to the quantitative solution about the synchronization of joint working by voice.
