Speech characteristics of monozygotic twins and a same-sex sibling: an acoustic case study of coarticulation patterns in read speech [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
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 ...

Low frequency groans indicate larger and more dominant fallow deer (Dama dama) males. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
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 Visualization Demonstrates Velopharyngeal Coupling and Complex Spectral Variability in Asian Elephants

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
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 ...

Field Propagation Experiments of Male African Savanna Elephant Rumbles: A Focus on the Transmission of Formant Frequencies

open access: yesAnimals, 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 ...

Reducing Audible Spectral Discontinuities [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

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

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Jak badać samogłoski metodami akustycznymi?

open access: yesLingVaria, 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 ...

Speaker Normalization Using Cortical Strip Maps: A Neural Model for Steady State Vowel Identification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Auditory signals of speech are speaker-dependent, but representations of language meaning are speaker-independent. Such a transformation enables speech to be understood from different speakers.

Automated Heart Valve Disorder Detection Based on PDF Modeling of Formant Variation Pattern in PCG Signal

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
Heart valve disorder (HVD) analysis from heart sound is being well known for a long period of time, and use of digital stethoscope gives opportunity to diagnose HVDs from phonocardiographic (PCG) signal.

Acoustic cues for the recognition of self-voice and other-voice

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
Self-recognition, being indispensable for successful social communication, has become a major focus in current social neuroscience. The physical aspects of the self are most typically manifested in the face and voice.
