Voice Stress Analysis

چکیده
The nonverbal content of speech carries information about the physiological and psychological condition of the speaker. Psychological stress is a pathological element of this condition, of which the cause is accepted to be “workload”. Objective, quantifiable correlates of stress are searched for by means of measuring the acoustic modifications of the voice brought about by workload. Different voice features from the speech signal to be influenced by stress are: loudness, fundamental frequency, jitter, zero-crossing rate, speech rate and high-energy frequency ratio. To examine the effect of workload on speech production an experiment was designed. 108 native speakers of Dutch were recruited to participate in a stress test (Stroop test). The experiment and the analysis of the test results will be reported in this paper.

متن کاملVoice Stress Analysis using Linear Predictive Coding in MATLAB
Speech in humans is generated by a series of formants generated by the resonances in the nasal, pharyngeal and vocal tracts. Linear prediction of speech is one of the most widely used techniques for analysis of speech samples. Voice stress analysis as a field of study holds immense importance to human life. Stress analysis has been used in critical situation endangering life and in several medi...
متن کاملAnalysis of Stress in Speech Using Empirical Mode Decomposition
Voice stress analysis (VSA) is accomplished by measuring fluctuations in the physiological microtremor present in speech. In this paper, Empirical Mode Decomposition is compared to traditional Fast Fourier Transform in the analysis of the physiological microtremor. The results are expected to show that EMD is better suited in the detection of stress in voice.
