Research on formant estimation algorithm for high order optimal LPC root value screening
Objectives: The existing linear prediction (LP) formant estimation algorithms are difficult to locate formant precisely because of the pseudo root interference and interaction between poles.Because of the low order fitting formant of LP prediction,the ...

Boundaries of word-formation. New reflections on old things
The attitude that word-formation fully coincides with derivation has been well established in the Lithuanian linguistics. The means of formation that fall outside derivation are regarded as peripheries of derivation that are not worth a considerable ...

Formant frequencies are the positions of the local maxima of the power spectral envelope of a sound signal. They arise from acoustic resonances of the vocal tract air column, and they provide substantial information about both consonants and vowels. In running speech, formants are crucial in signaling the movements with respect to place of articulation.

Formant onsets and formant transitions as developmental cues to vowel perception [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to determine whether children give more perceptual weight than do adults to dynamic spectral cues versus static cues. Listeners were 10 children between the ages of 3;8 and 4;1 (mean 3;11) and ten adults between the ages of 23;10 and 32;0 (mean 25;11).

Unconscious and Distinctive Control of Vocal Pitch and Timbre During Altered Auditory Feedback
Vocal control plays a critical role in smooth social communication. Speakers constantly monitor auditory feedback (AF) and make adjustments when their voices deviate from their intentions.

Refining a Deep Learning-based Formant Tracker using Linear Prediction Methods [PDF]
In this study, formant tracking is investigated by refining the formants tracked by an existing data-driven tracker, DeepFormants, using the formants estimated in a model-driven manner by linear prediction (LP)-based methods. As LP-based formant estimation methods, conventional covariance analysis (LP-COV) and the recently proposed quasi-closed phase ...

Neural Resolution of Formant Frequencies in the Primary Auditory Cortex of Rats. [PDF]
Pulse-resonance sounds play an important role in animal communication and auditory object recognition, yet very little is known about the cortical representation of this class of sounds.

A Wavelet Transform Based Scheme to Extract Speech Pitch and Formant Frequencies [PDF]
Pitch and Formant frequencies are important features in speech processing applications. The period of the vocal cord's output for vowels is known as the pitch or the fundamental frequency, and formant frequencies are essentially resonance frequencies of the vocal tract.

The effect of cochlear implantation on the acoustic features of Farsi vowels by hearing-impaired children [PDF]
Cochlear implantation (CI) is a preferred treatment for severe-to-profound sensory neural hearing loss and has caused significant improvement in the language ability of cochlear implantees compared to the hearing aided patients.

Identification and discrimination of sweep formants [PDF]
Earlier identification experiments with sweep tones are repeated with rising and falling single formant (band) sweeps, with durations ranging from 15 to 40 msec and sweep rates from 0 to 40 oct/sec. Steady-state portions of 100-msec duration are then added to the sweeps.
