Abstract(in English) Investigated is differences in brain activities in various stages of learning finger signs. Employed here is Magneto-Encephalography that has high time resolution. This report compares brain activities for presentation of (a) well memorized finger signs, (b) newly learned ones and (c) finger signs not known to subjects and hand shapes without any correspondence to particular sound. Experimental results show that significant differences are recognized between (a) and (c) and between (b) and (c) under 5% hazard rate. Results of dipole estimation based on magnetic field distribution in the left hemi-sphere at the maximum magnitude around 195~260ms latency suggest possibility that finger signs are recognized as phonograms.
