Appeal and disrepute of the so-called global rhythm metrics

Acta Universitatis Carolinae: Philologica, 2017
Since the late 1990’s correlates of rhythm classes of languages have been profusely used to search for differences between languages, dialects, speaking styles, degree of foreign accents, etc. Over the years the original attractiveness of the metrics has

Unstressed Vowels in German Learner English: An Instrumental Study [PDF]

, 2014
This study investigates the production of vowels in unstressed syllables by advanced German learners of English in comparison with native speakers of Standard Southern British English. Two acoustic properties were measured: duration and formant structure.

Applying rhythm metrics to non-native spontaneous speech [PDF]

Speech and Language Technology in Education (SLaTE 2013), 2013
This study investigates a variety of rhythm metrics on two corpora of non-native spontaneous speech and compares the nonnative distributions to values from a corpus of native speech. Several of the metrics are shown to differentiate well between native and non-native speakers and to also have moderate correlations with English proficiency scores that ...

Perception of speech rhythm in second language: The case of rhythmically similar L1 and L2

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
We investigated the perception of developmental changes in timing patterns that happen in the course of second language (L2) acquisition, provided that the native and the target languages of the learner are rhythmically similar (German and English).

New and Emerging Approaches to Better Define Sleep Disruption and Its Consequences

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Current approaches to quantify and diagnose sleep disorders and circadian rhythm disruption are imprecise, laborious, and often do not relate well to key clinical and health outcomes.

Dynamic BOLD functional connectivity in humans and its electrophysiological correlates [PDF]

, 2012
Neural oscillations subserve many human perceptual and cognitive operations. Accordingly, brain functional connectivity is not static in time, but fluctuates dynamically following the synchronization and desynchronization of neural populations.

Quantitative performance metrics for robustness in circadian rhythms [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2006
AbstractMotivation: Sensitivity analysis provides key measures that aid in unraveling the design principles responsible for the robust performance of biological networks. Such metrics allow researchers to investigate comprehensively model performance, to develop more realistic models, and to design informative experiments. However, sensitivity analysis

Rhythmic performance in hypokinetic dysarthria : relationship between reading, spontaneous speech and diadochokinetic tasks [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether rhythm metrics are sensitive to change in speakers with mild hypokinetic dysarthria, whether such changes can be detected in reading and spontaneous speech, and whether diadochokinetic (DDK) performance ...

Diurnal oscillations of MRI metrics in the brains of male participants

Nature Communications, 2023
Regulation of biological processes according to a 24-hr rhythm is essential for the normal functioning of an organism. Temporal variation in brain MRI data has often been attributed to circadian or diurnal oscillations; however, it is not clear if such ...
