An inverse scattering problem is analyzed for vowel articulation in the human vocal tract. When a unit amplitude, monochromatic, sinusoidal volume velocity is sent from the glottis towards the lips, various types of scattering data are used…
Recent years have seen an explosion in the availability of Voice User Interfaces. However, user surveys suggest that there are issues with respect to usability, and it has been hypothesised that contemporary voice-enabled systems are…
Theoretical models that describe oscillations in biological systems are often either a limit cycle oscillator, where the deterministic nonlinear dynamics gives sustained periodic oscillations, or a noise-induced oscillator, where a fixed…
