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)

Vocal tract area functions and formant frequencies in opera tenors’ modal and falsetto registers
According to recent model investigations, vocal tract resonance is relevant to vocal registers. However, no experimental corroboration of this claim has been published so far.

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,

Unsupervised Phoneme Segmentation Based on Main Energy Change for Arabic Speech
In this paper, a new method for segmenting speech at the phoneme level is presented. For this purpose, author uses the short-time Fourier transform of the speech signal. The goal is to identify the locations of main energy changes in frequency over time,

Formant frequencies of normal Malaysian Indian young adults in sustained vowels [PDF]
This paper investigates the first four formant frequencies of 60 normal Malaysian Indian young adults in sustained vowels using acoustical analysis. The F1, F2, F3 and F4 of Malaysian Indian males were reported at 359±87 Hz, 1457±630 Hz, 2799 ±336 Hz ...

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
