Simulating online compensation for pitch-shifted auditory feedback with target approximation model
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study attempts to achieve modeling simulation of the well-known phenomenon of online compensation for pitch-shifted auditory feedback. We used the Target Approximation (TA) model as the underlying kinematic mechanism of pitch contour generation, and simulated feedback compensation through responsive perturbation of the height parameter of the TA model. Results show that both withinsyllable and cross-syllable pitch compensation in disyllabic utterances can be replicated. Furthermore, our data analysis also revealed an over-rectification phenomenon. By adjusting the height parameter back and beyond its original value after the compensation, the over-rectification was also replicated, further improving the overall simulation results.

The relationship between vocal accuracy and variability to the level of compensation to altered auditory feedback.
Auditory feedback plays an important role in monitoring vocal output and determining when adjustments are necessary. In this study a group of untrained singers participated in a frequency altered feedback experiment to examine if accuracy at matching a note could predict the degree of compensation to auditory feedback that was shifted in frequency. Participants were presented with a target note...
متن کاملFundamental Frequency Modelling: An Articulatory Perspective with Target Approximation and Deep Learning
Current statistical parametric speech synthesis (SPSS) approaches typically aim at state/frame-level acoustic modelling, which leads to a problem of frame-by-frame independence. Besides that, whichever learning technique is used, hidden Markov model (HMM), deep neural network (DNN) or recurrent neural network (RNN), the fundamental idea is to set up a direct mapping from linguistic to acoustic ...
متن کاملA Bayesian Account of Vocal Adaptation to Pitch-Shifted Auditory Feedback
Motor systems are highly adaptive. Both birds and humans compensate for synthetically induced shifts in the pitch (fundamental frequency) of auditory feedback stemming from their vocalizations. Pitch-shift compensation is partial in the sense that large shifts lead to smaller relative compensatory adjustments of vocal pitch than small shifts. Also, compensation is larger in subjects with high m...
متن کاملThe role of auditory feedback during phonation: studies of Mandarin tone production
Auditory feedback during speech plays an important role in the control of articulation. The sound of a speaker’s voice is used to calibrate speaking volume and vocal pitch and also influences the precision of articulation. In two experiments, the speech feedback system is studied by exposing subjects to modified auditory feedback regarding their vocal pitch. In previous work, Jones & Munhall (2...
متن کاملCompensation for pitch-shifted auditory feedback during the production of Mandarin tone sequences.
Recent research has found that while speaking, subjects react to perturbations in pitch of voice auditory feedback by changing their voice fundamental frequency (F0) to compensate for the perceived pitch-shift. The long response latencies (150-200 ms) suggest they may be too slow to assist in on-line control of the local pitch contour patterns associated with lexical tones on a syllable-to-syll...
