Abstract
The main idea underlying the proposed attention training is to perform stimulation of the hearing and sight senses employing digital signal processing algorithms controlled by electroencephalography signals. The auditory and visual stimuli are designated to force the perception through hearing and sight senses by the appropriate hemisphere. The applied speech modification uses a non-uniform real-time speech stretching algorithm. The video content retrieval showing the speaker's face is slowed down, accordingly. Research experiments employed subjects with central auditory and visual processing disorders revealing severe communication difficulties. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been shown using formal attention focus tests. It was demonstrated that the proposed method of attention training helps improve speech understanding and reading skills in examined subjects.
