Abstract(in English) In order to investigate the influence of the pause length during the conversation, two pause length stimuli were prepared. The standard stimulus S means the original natural raw pause length, and the deviant stimulus D means the artificial slightly long (500ms) pause length. While the edited rakugo which includes both S and D stimuli was presented to the subject, MEG was recorded. The brain shape of the subject's was measured by MRI and its result was used for the active source estimation on MEG. Signals from both right and left 34ch-sensor-groups at temporal area were analyzed by averaging each stimuli. The difference RMS between S and D results was shown as the pause length influence, and most different neural activity was observed at the right hemisphere.
