Jak badać samogłoski metodami akustycznymi?
How to study vowels using acoustic methods? A proposal of a method based on relative formant frequencies and the cardinal vowels model The first part of the paper proposes a method of studying (or, more precisely, of recognizing) oral vowels, using ...

African savanna elephants live in dynamic fission–fusion societies and exhibit a sophisticated vocal communication system. Their most frequent call-type is the ‘rumble’, with a fundamental frequency (which refers to the lowest vocal ...

Low frequency groans indicate larger and more dominant fallow deer (Dama dama) males. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Models of honest advertisement predict that sexually selected calls should signal male quality. In most vertebrates, high quality males have larger body sizes that determine higher social status and in turn higher reproductive success ...

Sound production mechanisms set the parameter space available for transmitting biologically relevant information in vocal signals. Low–frequency rumbles play a crucial role in coordinating social interactions in elephants’ complex fission–fusion ...

Speech characteristics of monozygotic twins and a same-sex sibling: an acoustic case study of coarticulation patterns in read speech [PDF]
This case study reports on an acoustic investigation of the motor speech characteristics of a set of young adult male monozygotic (MZ) twins and compares them to those of an age- and sex-matched sibling who participated in the study 2 years later to ...

Extraction of vocal-tract system characteristics from speechsignals [PDF]
We propose methods to track natural variations in the characteristics of the vocal-tract system from speech signals. We are especially interested in the cases where these characteristics vary over time, as happens in dynamic sounds such as consonant ...

Reducing Audible Spectral Discontinuities [PDF]
In this paper, a common problem in diphone synthesis is discussed, viz., the occurrence of audible discontinuities at diphone boundaries. Informal observations show that spectral mismatch is most likely the cause of this phenomenon.We first set out to ...

Neural Resolution of Formant Frequencies in the Primary Auditory Cortex of Rats.
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.
