Extraction of vocal-tract system characteristics from speechsignals [PDF]
, 1998 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]
, 2001 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 ...

Effects of the Rate of Formant-Frequency Variation on the Grouping of Formants in Speech Perception [PDF]
Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, 2011 How speech is separated perceptually from other speech remains poorly understood. Recent research suggests that the ability of an extraneous formant to impair intelligibility depends on the modulation of its frequency, but not its amplitude, contour.

Abnormal Speech Motor Control in Individuals with 16p11.2 Deletions. [PDF]
, 2018 Speech and motor deficits are highly prevalent (>70%) in individuals with the 600 kb BP4-BP5 16p11.2 deletion; however, the mechanisms that drive these deficits are unclear, limiting our ability to target interventions and advance treatment.

Neural Resolution of Formant Frequencies in the Primary Auditory Cortex of Rats.
PLoS ONE, 2015 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.

Animals, 2018 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 ...

Impact of prominence type on the coarticulation of vowels following palatalized consonants
Вестник Самарского университета: История, педагогика, филологияThe quantitative impact of prominence (neutral vs emphatic stress) on the coarticulation of the Russian low [æ], mid [e] and high [i] front vowels is evaluated in CV sequences with palatalized consonants of various places of obstruction.

Jak badać samogłoski metodami akustycznymi?
LingVaria, 2014 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 ...

Identification and discrimination of sweep formants [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1989 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.

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016 Even though speech signals trigger coding in the cochlea to convey speech information to the central auditory structures, little is known about the neural mechanisms involved in such processes.
