Abstract
In this paper, we propose a training method to improve the stammering symptom, which automatically adjusts the rhythm of speech using vibrational stimulation linked to heart rate through a smart watch. We focus on the rhythm control effect by vibration, confirmed by the tactile stimulation training, and propose a training method to improve the symptoms of stammering while automatically adjusting the rhythm of the utterance based on the heartbeat-linked vibration stimuli. In addition, a system using the proposed method is constructed, and its effects on the heart rate by providing vibration stimulation to stutterers and on stammering symptoms are investigated. We present the effectiveness of stammering improvement training through vibration stimuli by experimenting with eight subjects.
