A Weighted STOI Intelligibility Metric Based On Mutual Information [PDF]

, 2015
It is known that the information required for the intelligibility of a speech signal is distributed non-uniformly in time. In this paper we propose WSTOI, a modified version of STOI, a speech intelligibility metric.

Cortical Alpha Oscillations Predict Speech Intelligibility

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
Understanding speech in noise (SiN) is a complex task involving sensory encoding and cognitive resources including working memory and attention. Previous work has shown that brain oscillations, particularly alpha rhythms (8–12 Hz) play important roles in

The Performance of Automatic Speaking Valves and Fixation Devices Enabling Hands‐Free Speech Following Total Laryngectomy—A Systematic Review

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The percentage of daily automatic speaking valve use (AU) in laryngectomized patients has remained at ~25% since their invention. To increase this percentage, understanding the performance of existent devices is essential. Therefore, we reviewed studies reporting AU, fixation device lifetime (FDL), compliance, and voice and speech ...
