In this work, we investigate the effectiveness of two techniques for improving variational autoencoder (VAE) based voice conversion (VC). First, we reconsider the relationship between vocoder features extracted using the high quality…

Functional brain imaging through electroencephalography (EEG) relies upon the analysis and interpretation of high-dimensional, spatially organized time series. We propose to represent time-localized frequency domain characterizations of EEG…

Deep learning techniques have considerably improved speech processing in recent years. Speaker representations extracted by deep learning models are being used in a wide range of tasks such as speaker recognition and speech emotion…

The rapid development of auditory attention decoding (AAD) based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals offers the possibility EEG-driven target speaker extraction. However, how to effectively utilize the target-speaker common information…

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) can decode imagined speech from neural activity. However, these systems typically require extensive training sessions where participants imaginedly repeat words, leading to mental fatigue and difficulties…

Electroencephalography (EEG) stands as a crucial tool in neuroscientific research and clinical diagnostics, providing valuable insights into the electrical activities of the brain. Traditional EEG signal processing techniques, predominantly…

Electroencephalography (EEG) foundation models hold significant promise for universal Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). However, existing approaches often rely on end-to-end fine-tuning and exhibit limited efficacy under frozen-probing…

Speech representation and modelling in high-dimensional spaces of acoustic waveforms, or a linear transformation thereof, is investigated with the aim of improving the robustness of automatic speech recognition to additive noise. The…

Despite known differences between reading and listening in the brain, recent work has shown that text-based language models predict both text-evoked and speech-evoked brain activity to an impressive degree. This poses the question of what…

The fundamental frequency (F0) of human voice is generally controlled by changing the vocal fold parameters (including tension, length and mass), which in turn is manipulated by the muscle exciters, activated by the neural synergies. In…

This paper presents a method of sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) voice conversion using non-parallel training data. In this method, disentangled linguistic and speaker representations are extracted from acoustic features, and voice conversion…

The aim of the study is to investigate the complex mechanisms of speech perception and ultimately decode the electrical changes in the brain accruing while listening to speech. We attempt to decode heard speech from intracranial…

In [1,2] authors provided preliminary results for synthesizing speech from electroencephalography (EEG) features where they first predict acoustic features from EEG features and then the speech is reconstructed from the predicted acoustic…

Previous initial research has already been carried out to propose speech-based BCI using brain signals (e.g. non-invasive EEG and invasive sEEG / ECoG), but there is a lack of combined methods that investigate non-invasive brain,…

Understanding the correlation between EEG features and cognitive tasks is crucial for elucidating brain function. Brain activity synchronizes during speaking and listening tasks. However, it is challenging to estimate task-dependent brain…

This paper introduces a novel method to separate noisy speech into low or high frequency frames, in order to improve fundamental frequency (F0) estimation accuracy. In this proposal, the target signal is analyzed by means of the ensemble…

Emotional voice conversion aims to convert the spectrum and prosody to change the emotional patterns of speech, while preserving the speaker identity and linguistic content. Many studies require parallel speech data between different…

Speech separation has been very successful with deep learning techniques. Substantial effort has been reported based on approaches over spectrogram, which is well known as the standard time-and-frequency cross-domain representation for…

Recent research has delved into speech enhancement (SE) approaches that leverage audio embeddings from pre-trained models, diverging from time-frequency masking or signal prediction techniques. This paper introduces an efficient and…

Current state-of-the-art speech recognition systems build on recurrent neural networks for acoustic and/or language modeling, and rely on feature extraction pipelines to extract mel-filterbanks or cepstral coefficients. In this paper we…
