Hello and Welcome!

Thank you for deciding to participate in the art research project, tentatively titled as 'Bringing the language peripherals to the fore' .


About the research:
Spoken language is made of vowel sounds like ah, oh, oo(u), ee.. and
consonant sounds like /t/, /p/ and /s/.. 

This study explores the natural connections/associations we make between speech sounds (vowels) and meanings.  The human capability of making such cross-sensory associations dates back to prehistoric times. Through rumination of speech sounds and its cross modal perception, this study is trying to bring the peripherals of language to the foreground.

About your participation:
You will be answering a few questions and making connections/associations in this experiment. The natural associations made by you will help the researcher to explore the possibilities of using these speech sounds to assist in a sentient communication system, thereby helping people with communication difficulties.
