Spectrograms are 2D representations of sound that look very different from the images found in our visual world. And natural images, when played as spectrograms, make unnatural sounds. In this paper, we show that it is possible to…
Several approaches exist for the recording of articulatory movements, such as eletromagnetic and permanent magnetic articulagraphy, ultrasound tongue imaging and surface electromyography. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more…
