Acoustic-phonetic variability of Polish vowels
Since the early 1960's speech sounds have been described at three levels of abstraction: intrinsic-allophonic, extrinsic-allophonic and phonemic. The acoustic features of Polish vowels have been investigated at the first and the last of these levels by ...

Adaptation to formant and fundamental frequencies.
(A) Aftereffects induced with the fundamental frequency adaptor (f0A/formantAB). Right panel: statistical analysis, differences between each adaptation condition and baseline (i.e., no adaptation). Shaded area: 95% confidence interval.

Transfer Characteristics of Vocal Tract Closed by Mask Cavity
This paper analyses the changes in transfer characteristics of the vocal tract when closed by a mask, i.e. a chamber. The analysis was performed in two ways: by analytical estimation and by measurements in the vocal tract physical model for the case of ...

The four experiments reported here measure listeners' accuracy and consistency in adjusting a formant frequency of one-or two-formant complex sounds to match the timbre of a target sound.

Differences in mismatch responses to vowels and musical intervals: MEG evidence.
We investigated the electrophysiological response to matched two-formant vowels and two-note musical intervals, with the goal of examining whether music is processed differently from language in early cortical responses. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG)

HMM-based MAP Prediction of Voiced and Unvoiced Formant Frequencies from Noisy MFCC Vectors
This paper describes how formant frequencies of voiced and unvoiced speech can be predicted from mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) vectors using maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation within a hidden Markov model (HMM) framework. Gaussian mixture

Dutch word stress as pronounced by Indonesian students
This study focuses on the way in which the Dutch monophthongal vowels are pronounced by Indonesian students. To investigate whether Indonesian students realize the Dutch vowels correctly, especially when they are stressed, I analysed duration and quality

Quality prevails over identity in the sexually selected vocalisations of an ageing mammal [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Male sexually selected vocalisations generally contain both individuality and quality cues that are crucial in intra- as well as inter-sexual communication. As individuality is a fixed feature whereas male phenotypic quality changes with age,

The digital manipulation of vowel formant frequencies for persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PALS) suffer from a degenerative motor neuron disease that severely affects their speech. Speech therapy helps them compensate or use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for communication purposes,
