A New Approach to the Formant Measuring Problem
Formants are characteristic frequency components in human speech that are caused by resonances in the vocal tract during speech production. They are of primary concern in acoustic phonetics and speech recognition.

Kuwae, Epi and Tongoa Islands: Transformations of a volcanic landscape in central Vanuatu
ABSTRACT This paper presents a detailed overview of archaeological research undertaken on Epi and Tongoa, in central Vanuatu. These islands were previously connected to one another and respectively formed the western and eastern portions of Kuwae, one of the largest islands in the Vanuatu archipelago, until the catastrophic Tombuk volcanic eruption ...

Brittany Bernal - Sensorimotor Adaptation of Vowel Production in Stop Consonant Contexts [PDF]
The purpose of this research is to measure the compensatory and adaptive articulatory response to shifted formants in auditory feedback to compare the resulting amount of sensorimotor learning that takes place in speakers upon saying the words /pep/ and /

Auditory Emotional Prosody Perception Using Pseudo‐Speech Stimuli in Native and Non‐Native Listeners
Anger and neutral appear to be universally recognized, whereas happiness, surprise, and panic depend more on linguistic familiarity. Pseudo‐sentences can be a valuable tool for assessing universal emotional perception, but recognition performance varies depending on the emotion type.

Bio-inspired broad-class phonetic labelling [PDF]
Recent studies have shown that the correct labeling of phonetic classes may help current Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) when combined with classical parsing automata based on Hidden Markov Models (HMM).Through the present paper a method for Phonetic ...

Abstract Several species of Lepidoptera with caterpillars bearing urticating hairs are increasing their range in metropolitan France from year to year, such as the pine processionary (Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis et Schiffermüller 1775) whose presence was historically limited to the south of France, and which is gradually being observed in the north ...

Speech Sensorimotor Learning through a Virtual Vocal Tract [PDF]
Studies of speech sensorimotor learning often manipulate auditory feedback by modifying isolated acoustic parameters such as formant frequency or fundamental frequency using near real-time resynthesis of a participant\u27s speech. An alternative approach

ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

Free-Ranging Male Koalas Use Size-Related Variation in Formant Frequencies to Assess Rival Males
Although the use of formant frequencies in nonhuman animal vocal communication systems has received considerable recent interest, only a few studies have examined the importance of these acoustic cues to body size during intra-sexual competition between ...

Hybrid Autoregressive Resonance Estimation and Density Mixture Formant Tracking Model
A novel formant tracker is proposed using the mixture models oft densities (tMMs) for vocal tract resonance frequencies estimated with a hybrid linear prediction (HLP) method.
