Word Categorization of Vowel Durational Changes in Speech-Modulated Bone-Conducted Ultrasound

open access: yesAudiology Research, 2021
Ultrasound can deliver speech information when it is amplitude-modulated with speech and presented via bone conduction. This speech-modulated bone-conducted ultrasound (SM-BCU) can also transmit prosodic information.
