LaDIVA: A neurocomputational model providing laryngeal motor control for speech acquisition and production.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2022
Many voice disorders are the result of intricate neural and/or biomechanical impairments that are poorly understood. The limited knowledge of their etiological and pathophysiological mechanisms hampers effective clinical management.

The Role of Motor Inhibition During Covert Speech Production

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
Covert speech is accompanied by a subjective multisensory experience with auditory and kinaesthetic components. An influential hypothesis states that these sensory percepts result from a simulation of the corresponding motor action that relies on the ...

Speech production as state feedback control

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2011
Spoken language exists because of a remarkable neural process. Inside a speaker’s brain, an intended message gives rise to neural signals activating the muscles of the vocal tract. The process is remarkable because these muscles are activated in just the

Assessment of Speech and Fine Motor Coordination in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

IEEE Access, 2020
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder characterized by difficulty in communication, which includes a high incidence of speech production errors.

Hand Motor Cortex Excitability During Speaking in Persistent Developmental Stuttering

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
Persistent developmental stuttering (PDS) is a speech fluency disorder characterized by intermittent involuntary breakdowns of speech motor control, possibly related to motor cortex excitability.

Exploring the Relationship Between Speech Motor Control and Phonological Processing in Children Who Stutter and Typically Developed Children

Journal of Modern Rehabilitation, 2021
Introduction: Language processing (especially phonology) and speech motor control are disordered in stuttering. However, it is unclear how they are related based on the models of speech processing.

The Emergence of Discrete Perceptual-Motor Units in a Production Model That Assumes Holistic Phonological Representations

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
Intelligible speakers achieve specific vocal tract constrictions in rapid sequence. These constrictions are associated in theory with speech motor goals.

Retinoic acid signaling: a new piece in the spoken language puzzle

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015
Speech requires precise motor control and rapid sequencing of highly complex vocal musculature. Despite its complexity, most people produce spoken language effortlessly.

The trajectory of gray matter development in Broca’s area is abnormal in people who stutter.

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
The acquisition and mastery of speech-motor control requires years of practice spanning the course of development. People who stutter often perform poorly on speech-motor tasks thereby calling into question their ability to establish the stable neural ...
