This paper investigates the sound production in a system made of a bore coupled with a reed valve. Extending previous work (Debut, 2004), the input impedance of the bore is projected on the modes of the air column. The acoustic pressure is…
Modeling and estimation of the vocal tract and glottal source parameters of vowels from raw speech can be typically done by using the Auto-Regressive with eXogenous input (ARX) model and Liljencrants-Fant (LF) model with an iteration-based…
Assessment of voice signals has long been performed with the assumption of periodicity as this facilitates analysis. Near periodicity of normal voice signals makes short-time harmonic modeling an appealing choice to extract vocal feature…
I compute the average trial-by-trial power of band-limited speech activity across epochs of multi-channel high-density electrocorticography (ECoG) recorded from multiple subjects during a consonant-vowel speaking task. I show that…
Poor laryngeal muscle coordination that results in abnormal glottal posturing is believed to be a primary etiologic factor in common voice disorders such as non-phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction. Abnormal activity of antagonistic laryngeal…
Multi-resolution spectro-temporal features of a speech signal represent how the brain perceives sounds by tuning cortical cells to different spectral and temporal modulations. These features produce a higher dimensional representation of…
A state-of-the-art 1D acoustic synthesizer has been previously developed, and coupled to speaker-specific biomechanical models of oropharynx in ArtiSynth. As expected, the formant frequencies of the synthesized vowel sounds were shown to be…
The dynamics of an organ pipe's mouth region has been studied by numerical simulations. The investigations presented here were carried out by solving the compressible Navier-Stokes equations under suitable initial and boundary conditions…
Articulatory features can provide interpretable and flexible controls for the synthesis of human vocalizations by allowing the user to directly modify parameters like vocal strain or lip position. To make this manipulation through…
Real-time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rtMRI) visualizes vocal tract action, offering a comprehensive window into speech articulation. However, its signals are high dimensional and noisy, hindering interpretation. We investigate compact…
Many hearables contain an in-ear microphone, which may be used to capture the own voice of its user. However, due to the hearable occluding the ear canal, the in-ear microphone mostly records body-conducted speech, typically suffering from…
Speech is produced through the coordination of vocal tract constricting organs: lips, tongue, velum, and glottis. Previous works developed Speech Inversion (SI) systems to recover acoustic-to-articulatory mappings for lip and tongue…
This article deals with large-eddy simulations of 3D incompressible laryngeal flow followed by acoustic simulations of human phonation of five cardinal english vowels /u, i, \textipa{A}, o, {\ae}/. The flow and aeroacoustic simulations were…
The goal of this work is to recover articulatory information from the speech signal by acoustic-to-articulatory inversion. One of the main difficulties with inversion is that the problem is underdetermined and inversion methods generally…
To investigate how the auditory system processes natural speech, models have been created to relate the electroencephalography (EEG) signal of a person listening to speech to various representations of the speech. Mainly the speech envelope…
Acoustic-to-articulatory inversion (AAI) methods estimate articulatory movements from the acoustic speech signal, which can be useful in several tasks such as speech recognition, synthesis, talking heads and language tutoring. Most earlier…
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…
The paper documents the development of a novel time-domain model of injection-locked oscillator phase-noise response. The methodology follows a first-principle approach and applies to all circuit topologies, coupling configurations,…
This study focuses on generating fundamental frequency (F0) curves of singing voice from musical scores stored in a midi-like notation. Current statistical parametric approaches to singing F0 modeling meet difficulties in reproducing…
Accurate simulations of sound propagation in narrow geometries need to account for viscous and thermal losses. In this respect, effective boundary conditions that model viscothermal losses in frequency-domain acoustics have recently gained…
