Abstract(in English) As a basis to develop new communication channel for severe physical handicapped, we analyzed the responses of the skin potentials to letter recognition. The skin potential activity recorded from normal left hand of 4 subjects during a character matching task with computer screen. The sympathetic skin response(SSR) was observed with the target letter distinction. The appearance rate of SSR was 40-100% in the 4 subjects. There are much advantage of the sympathetic response as an alternative switching aid ; minimum requirement of recording technique, easiness of detection, and no need of training of users. However, there are some limitations to solve in practical use ; long latency, low occurrence, and habituation.
