Speech discrimination after early exposure to pulsed-noise or speech.
Early experience of structured inputs and complex sound features generate lasting changes in tonotopy and receptive field properties of primary auditory cortex (A1). In this study we tested whether these changes are severe enough to alter neural representations and behavioral discrimination of speech. We exposed two groups of rat pups during the critical period of auditory development to pulsed...
متن کاملFuzzy Logic Speech/Non-speech Discrimination for Noise Robust Speech Processing
This paper shows a fuzzy logic speech/non-speech discrimination method for improving the performance of speech processing systems working in noise environments. The fuzzy system is based on a Sugeno inference engine with membership functions defined as combination of two Gaussian functions. The rule base consists of ten fuzzy if then statements defined in terms of the denoised subband signal-to...
متن کاملSegregation of Whispered Speech Interleaved with Noise or Speech Maskers
Some listening environments require listeners to segregate a whispered target talker from a background of other talkers. In this experiment, a whispered speech signal was presented continuously in the presence of a continuous masker (noise, voiced speech or whispered speech) or alternated with the masker at an 8-Hz rate. Performance was near ceiling in the alternated whisper and noise condition...
متن کاملNoise robustness in speech to speech translation
This paper describes various noise robustness issues in a speech-to-speech translation system. We present quantitative measures for noise robustness in the context of speech recognition accuracy and speech-to-speech translation performance. To enhance noise immunity, we explore two approaches to improve the overall speech-to-speech translation performance. First, a multi-style training techniqu...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Speech Sciences (Acoustic Analysis of Speech)
Speech sciences deal with the acoustical characteristics of speech by means of sophisticated soft wares as well as hard wares. Although, a speech science is a well known science in the developed countries, especially the western societies, however, it has been remained almost unknown in Iran, though, in recent years a group of scholars have been involved in this branch of science. The applicati...
