Vowel space density as an indicator of speech performance.
The purpose of this study was to develop a method for visualizing and assessing the characteristics of vowel production by measuring the local density of normalized F1 and F2 formant frequencies. The result is a three-dimensional plot called the vowel space density (VSD) and indicates the regions in the vowel space most heavily used by a talker during speech production. The area of a convex hul...
متن کاملPerceived speech tempo and vowel space size
Since the seminal work of Lindblom (1963) a wealth of studies have investigated undershoot and the factors governing its occurrence and variability. However, although sex-specific differences in reduction patterns have been found in adults (Byrd 1994; Whiteside 1996), as well as in children (McCormack & Knighton 1996), possible sex-specific differences in formant transitions and in particular u...
متن کاملA comprehensive vowel space for whispered speech.
Whispered speech is a relatively common form of communications, used primarily to selectively exclude or include potential listeners from hearing a spoken message. Despite the everyday nature of whispering, and its undoubted usefulness in vocal communications, whispers have received relatively little research effort to date, apart from some studies analyzing the main whispered vowels and some q...
متن کاملDeterioration of Speech as an Indicator of Physiological Degeneration (DESIPHER)
We approach the problem of understanding the disease progression and speech of patients suffering from ALS as a language divergence identification problem. We summarize the promises and challenges of using speech-related biomarkers to adapt speech recognition to ALS patients and correlate language divergence with disease progression.
متن کاملAssessing Functional Neural Connectivity as an Indicator of Cognitive Performance
Studies in recent years have demonstrated that neural organization and structure impact an individual’s ability to perform a given task. Specifically, individuals with greater neural efficiency have been shown to outperform those with less organized functional structure. In this work, we compare the predictive ability of properties of neural connectivity on a working memory task. We provide two...
