Reverberation impairs brainstem temporal representations of voiced vowel sounds: challenging periodicity-tagged segregation of competing speech in rooms

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2015
The auditory system typically processes information from concurrently active sound sources (e.g., two voices speaking at once), in the presence of multiple delayed, attenuated and distorted sound-wave reflections (reverberation).

Detrending the Waveforms of Steady-State Vowels

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Steady-state vowels are vowels that are uttered with a momentarily fixed vocal tract configuration and with steady vibration of the vocal folds. In this steady-state, the vowel waveform appears as a quasi-periodic string of elementary units called pitch ...

Speaking Rate Effects on Locus Equation Slope [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A locus equation describes a 1st order regression fit to a scatter of vowel steady-state frequency values predicting vowel onset frequency values. Locus equation coefficients are often interpreted as indices of coarticulation.

Phonemes in continuous speech are better recognized in context than in isolation

open access: yesFrontiers in Communication, 2022
The contribution of context to phoneme perception is a subject of extensive study. In recent years, while the perception of phonemes in and out of context has become characterized as well-understood, new studies have emerged to challenge prevailing ...

Learning and adaptation in speech production without a vocal tract [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
How is the complex audiomotor skill of speaking learned? To what extent does it depend on the specific characteristics of the vocal tract? Here, we developed a touchscreen-based speech synthesizer to examine learning of speech production independent of ...
