Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Recent advances in signal processing and machine learning technologies have made it possible to estimate and reconstruct speech or text during speaking and listening from invasive electrocorticogram (ECoG). Meanwhile, the estimation of imagined speech has not been successful due to the difficulty in synchronizing the ECoG with the target label. In this paper, we hypothesize that if imagined speech and ECoG are adequately synchronized, speech can be decoded from ECoG as in the case of ECoG during speaking and listening. We designed an experiment in which participants were presented with a screen on which short sentences were projected, and by highlighting the colors of the letters one by one, the timing and speed of imagination could be controlled. The ECoG was recorded during the three tasks of imagining speech, listening to speech, and speaking. Moreover, we recorded the speech presented in the listening task and the participants' speech in the speaking task. From the measured ECoG, we built an encoder-decoder model using the Mel cepstrum coefficients of the speech during the speaking and listening tasks to infer the imagined speech. The best character error rate of about 17% was achieved for sentences decoded from the imagined ECoG.
