The Cortical Dynamics of Intelligible Speech [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2008
An important and unresolved question is how the human brain processes speech for meaning after initial analyses in early auditory cortical regions. A variety of left-hemispheric areas have been identified that clearly support semantic processing, although a systematic analysis of directed interactions among these areas is lacking.

Using Body-Conducted Acoustic Sensors for Human-Robot Communication in Noisy Environments

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013
In this study, the use of alternative acoustic sensors in human-robot communication is investigated. In particular, a Non-Audible Murmur (NAM) microphone was applied in tele-operating the Geminoid HI-1 robot in noisy environments.

Speech Prosody Across Stimulus Types for Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease

Journal of Parkinson’s Disease
Background: Up to 89% of the individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience speech problem over the course of the disease. Speech prosody and intelligibility are two of the most affected areas in hypokinetic dysarthria. However, assessment of these
