PeerJ, 2016 Background Although increased nasality can originate from basal ganglia dysfunction, data regarding hypernasality in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Huntington’s disease (HD) are very sparse.

Effect of Vocal Fry on Voice and on Velopharyngeal Sphincter
International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2016 Introduction It is known that the basal sound promotes shortening and adduction of the vocal folds and leaves the mucosa looser. However there are few studies that address the supralaryngeal physiological findings obtained using the technique.

Perceptual Grouping of Closed Contours Is Disrupted by the Interpretation of the Scene Layout
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2017 Closure is one of the grouping principles in perceptual organization. Studies have shown that closure can be affected by several factors, specifically by low-level image features.

The perceptual consequences and neurophysiology of eye blinks
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2023 A hand passing in front of a camera produces a large and obvious disruption of a video. Yet the closure of the eyelid during a blink, which lasts for hundreds of milliseconds and occurs thousands of times per day, typically goes unnoticed.

Comparing voiced and voiceless geminates in Sienese Italian: what role does preaspiration play? [PDF]
, 2004 This paper compares the acoustic phonetic appearance of voiced & voiceless geminate stops in Sienese Italian. In our spontaneous speech data voiceless geminate stops are frequently preaspirated, which is an extremely rare phenomenon cross-linguistically.

The ‘Default View’ of Perceptual Reasons and ‘Closure-Based’ Sceptical Arguments [PDF]
International Journal for the Study of Skepticism, 2016 It is a commonly accepted assumption in contemporary epistemology that we need to find a solution to ‘closure-based’ sceptical arguments and, hence, to the ‘scepticism or closure’ dilemma. In the present paper I argue that this is mistaken, since the closure principle does not, in fact, do real sceptical work.
