Objectives: This study examined the relationship between working and short-term memory performance, and their effects on cochlear implant outcomes (speech perception and speech production) in cochlear implanted children aged 7-13 years. The study also compared the memory performance of cochlear implanted children with their normal hearing peers. Methods: Thirty-one cochlear impl...

in this research, we investigated the glottal wave of persian vowels, using electroglottography. in the first level, the properties of vowels glottal wave were analyzed. in the second level, the glottal wave between male and female speakers were  compared. contact quotient is the glottal wave parameter which was analyzed. data included six persian vowels and the glottal wave recorded using elec...

Many speech source separation approaches are based on the assumption of orthogonality of speech sources in the time-frequency domain. The target speech source is demixed from the mixture by applying the ideal binary mask to the mixture. The time-frequency orthogonality of speech sources is investigated in detail only for anechoic and artificially mixed speech mixtures. This paper evaluates how ...

Sir, In a recent paper published in Brain, Dronkers and colleagues (2007) re-examined the brain damage in two historic patients of P. Paul Broca, Leborgne and Lelong, who had lost the ability to speak following brain damage. The observation of these cases lead Broca to suggest that the left inferior frontal lobe (later coined Broca’s area) is the crucial lesion location associated with acquired...

OBJECTIVES To investigate speech and language outcomes in children with cochlear implants (CIs) who had mutations in common deafness genes and to compare their performances with those without mutations. STUDY DESIGN Prospective study. METHODS Patients who received CIs before 18 years of age and had used CIs for more than 3 years were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent mutation s...

one of the interesting topics on multimedia domain is concerned with empowering computer in order to speech production. speech synthesis is granting human abilities to the computer for speech production. data-based approach and process-based approach are the two main approaches on speech synthesis. each approach has its varied challenges. unit-selection speech synthesis and statistical parametr...
