Auditory-perceptual analysis of voice in abused children and adolescents

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2015
Introduction: Abused children and adolescents are exposed to factors that can trigger vocal changes. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of vocal changes in abused children and adolescents, through auditory-perceptual analysis of voice ...

Vocal repertoire and group-specific signature in the Smooth-billed Ani, Crotophaga ani Linnaeus, 1758 (Cuculiformes, Aves)

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2021
Vocal plasticity reflects the ability of animals to vary vocalizations according to context (vocal repertoire) as well as to develop vocal convergence (vocal group signature) in the interaction of members in social groups.

The Impact of Rhythmic Distortions in Speech on Personality Assessment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The perennial question as to how perceived otherness in speech projects into listener assessment of one’s personality has been systematically investigated within the field of foreign accentedness, vocal communication of affective states and vocal ...

The evolution of acoustic size exaggeration in terrestrial mammals

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The acoustic properties of vocal signals generally depend on body size, but in some species males have traits that exaggerate the size conveyed by their vocal signals.

Flexibilité vocale sous influences sociales chez les primates non-humains

open access: yesRevue de Primatologie, 2014
Animal vocal communication, as human language, is primarily a social act. It is therefore legitimate to argue in favor of a coevolution between sociality and vocal complexity in primates.

Whisper-to-speech conversion using restricted Boltzmann machine arrays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Whispers are a natural vocal communication mechanism, in which vocal cords do not vibrate normally. Lack of glottal-induced pitch leads to low energy, and an inherent noise-like spectral distribution reduces intelligibility.

Communicating and accentuating the aesthetic and expressive dimension in choral conducting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This article considers the issues that are involved in effective choral conducting from an aesthetic dimension. Drawing upon research, theories and practice, it provides some insight into the nature of communication and the significance of gesture on ...

Can vocal conditioning trigger a semiotic ratchet in marmosets? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The complexity of human communication has often been taken as evidence that our language reflects a true evolutionary leap, bearing little resemblance to any other animal communication system.

Acoustic allometry revisited: morphological determinants of fundamental frequency in primate vocal production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A fundamental issue in the evolution of communication is the degree to which signals convey accurate (“honest”) information about the signaler. In bioacoustics, the assumption that fundamental frequency (fo) should correlate with the body size of the ...
