Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) It is important to clarify the language comprehension mechanisms of Deaf people who use sign language, of healthy hearing people. N400 is event related potential (ERP) that reflects person's language comprehension and meaning processing process. N400 is negative potential component that evokes after approximately 400ms of the word presentation when the final word of the sentence expected is differing from the context. We collected examples of Japanese sign language under the cooperation of the Deaf people and replaced the final word from the context with the deviating word. There are two kinds of final words, with different meaning and phoneme. The examples were recorded and were presented as randomly.
