Vowel classification based on fundamental frequency and formant frequencies.
A quadratic discriminant classification technique was used to classify spectral measurements from vowels spoken by men, women, and children. The parameters used to train the discriminant classifier consisted of various combinations of fundamental frequency and the three lowest formant frequencies. Several nonlinear auditory transforms were evaluated. Unlike previous studies using a linear discr...
متن کاملDifference limen for formant frequency discrimination at high fundamental frequencies
In previous studies of formant frequency discrimination, variation in the stimuli has mainly concerned the formant frequencies while other factors which may affect formant frequency discrimination have largely been ignored. In most studies, fundamental frequencies typical of adult male speakers have been used. In the study presented here, formant frequency discrimination as a function of fundam...
متن کاملThe effects of fundamental frequency and formant space on speaker discrimination through bone-conducted ultrasonic hearing
Human listeners can perceive speech signals from a voicemodulated ultrasonic carrier which is presented through a boneconduction stimulator, even if they are sensorineural hearing loss patients. As an application of this phenomenon, we have been developing a bone-conducted ultrasonic hearing aid (BCUHA). This research examined whether formant space and F0 can be cues of speaker discrimination i...
متن کاملEstimating vowel formant discrimination thresholds using a single-interval classification task.
Previous research estimating vowel formant discrimination thresholds in words and sentences has often employed a modified two-alternative-forced-choice (2AFC) task with adaptive tracking. Although this approach has produced stable data, the length and number of experimental sessions, as well as the unnaturalness of the task, limit generalizations of results to ordinary speech communication. In ...
متن کاملAuditory grouping based on fundamental frequency and formant peak frequency.
The perceptual grouping of a four-tone cycle was studied as a function of differences in fundamental frequencies and the frequencies of spectral peaks. Each tone had a single formant and at least 13 harmonics. In Experiment 1 the formant was created by filtering a flat spectrum and in Experiment 2 by adding harmonics. Fundamental frequency was found to be capable of controlling grouping even wh...
