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

Feedforward and feedback control in apraxia of speech: effects of noise masking on vowel production [PDF]
PURPOSE: This study was designed to test two hypotheses about apraxia of speech (AOS) derived from the Directions Into Velocities of Articulators (DIVA) model (Guenther et al., 2006): the feedforward system deficit hypothesis and the feedback system ...
