Diagnosis of Human Mental and Physical Conditions Based on Chaotic Analysis of Human Voices.
発話音声をカオス論的手法により処理することで, 被験者に蓄積する疲労を定量的に評価することが可能と考えられる実験結果を得た。被験者による朗読音声を1秒間の時間幅で切断し, 毎秒の第1リアプノブ指数を計算し, その時間的な平均値をグラフとして描けば, 一般的な朗読音声による場合, 多くの被験者により朗読の継続と共にその時間的平均値の上昇が観測される。被験者に実験開始以前に十分な休息を与え朗読を開始させれば, その発話音声の第1リアプノブ指数の時間的平均値の上昇は, 被験者が疲労を自覚する十数分以前に観測される。また, 同様の実験結果として, 発話音声の第1リアプノブ指数の時間的平均値を算出する場合の時間幅を適切に設定すれば, 疲労の有無に加えて ...
