| Zusammenfassung | The quality of synthesized speech signals from different Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems is traditionally evaluated using subjective tests based on user ratings. Subjective testing, however, is challenging due to the variability and complexity of human perception. As such, recently there has been a shift towards exploring new objective techniques to evaluate the quality of TTS systems. In this paper, we describe our initial effort of characterizing human TTS quality perception via neurophysiological insights obtained from a neuroimaging technology called functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). This approach allowed for a link between the human decision making process and the quality of different TTS systems to be established. We showed significant correlations between perceived quality and several fNIRS features related to cerebral haemodynamics. These preliminary results have helped establish the potential of fNIRS as an important tool for evaluating the quality of TTS systems.
