Vowel formant dispersion as a measure of articulation proficiency.
The articulatory range of a speaker has previously been estimated by the shape formed by first and second formant measurements of produced vowels. In a majority of the currently available metrics, formant frequency measurements are reduced to a single estimate for a condition, which has adverse consequences for subsequent statistical testing. Other metrics provide estimates of size of vowel art...
متن کاملEEG Peak Alpha Frequency as an Indicator for Physical Fatigue
The peak alpha frequency (PAF) has been associated with mental abilities. In this study, we use the EEG to investigate the relationship between PAF and physical fatigue. Eight right handed male subjects (age from 23 to 29) volunteered for the experiment. They have to perform a hand grip task for 30 seconds with each hand for 30 times or until they could not continue anymore. Electrodes are plac...
متن کاملAnalysis of Human Performance as a Measure of Mental Fatigue
In our daily life, we often have the feeling of being exhausted due to mental or physical work, and a sense of performance degradation in the execution of simple tasks. The maximum capacity of operation and performance of an individual, whether physical or mental, usually also decreases gradually as the day progresses. The loss of these resources is linked to the onset of fatigue, which is part...
متن کاملA method for glottal formant frequency estimation
This study presents a method for estimation of glottal formant frequency (Fg) from speech signals. Our method is based on zeros of z-transform decomposition of speech spectra into two spectra : glottal flow dominated spectrum and vocal tract dominated spectrum. Peak picking is performed on the amplitude spectrum of the glottal flow dominated part. The algorithm is tested on synthetic speech. It...
متن کاملImproved formant frequency measurements of short segments
We describe an algorithm that automatically finds the smoothest formant trajectories for short segments of speech. The method selects for each segment the smoothest from a number of alternatives. The smoothness criterion is based on the modeling of formant tracks with polynomial functions and uses both the χ2 badness-of-fit as well as the variances of the polynomial coefficients. A great advant...
