Identification of Minimal Pairs of Japanese Pitch Accent in Noise-Vocoded Speech [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 The perception of lexical pitch accent in Japanese was assessed using noise-excited vocoder speech, which contained no fundamental frequency (fo) or its harmonics.

Perception of noise-vocoded sine-wave speech of Japanese pitch-accent words [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2022 The present study examined whether the identification accuracy of Japanese pitch-accent words increased after the sine-wave speech underwent noise vocoding, which eliminates the quasi-periodicity of the sine-wave speech.
