Eyebrow Movements and Voice Variatio an Experimental Inve
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the relationships between rapid eyebrow movements and vocal production during dialogue. A sophisticated movement and voice recording and analysis system was used to determine when eyebrow movements occurred relative to the phases of phonation, and how these movements were linked to accentuation-related intonative variations. The results confirmed the previously observed association between rapid eyebrow movements and F0 changes. Temporal relationships between eyebrow movements and the beginning and end of a speaker's vocalization suggest that eyebrow movements act as a turn-taking cue.

The relationships between voice and gesture: eyebrow movements and questioning
Our research deals with the relationship between voice and gesture during speech in an interview situation. In this study, we focus on rapid eyebrow movements during questioning. Eyebrow movements were recorded using a motion analysis system (ELITE) enabling computer reconstruction of the trajectories of small infrared retroflexive markers attached to the subject's skin. This kinematic data and...
متن کاملABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EYEBROW MOVEMENTS AND Fo VARIATIONS
Speech production is always accompanied by facial and gestural activity. The present study is part of a broader research project on how head movements and facial expressions are related to voice variations in different speech situations. Ten normal subjects were recorded while reading aloud, answering yes/no questions, and dialoguing with an interviewer. Rapid rising-falling eyebrow movements p...

This paper1 reports on two experiments with a Talking Head that explore the ability of eyebrow movements to cue focus. The first experiment tests how listeners react to synthetic stimuli in which the eyebrow movements coincide with pitch accents versus those in which these two occur on different words. Results show that subjects prefer those utterances in which pitch and eyebrow movements are a...
متن کاملCoordination of eyebrow movement with speech acoustics and head movement
Studies on the relationship between eyebrow movement and other aspects of speech production have focused on large, discrete movements of the eyebrows. Using integrated optical and electromagnetic point tracking, we measured eyebrow movements relative to the skull with a high level of precision. These data in combination with a correlational analysis method that accommodates varying phasing betw...
