5. 3. Computational Modeling of the Vocal Tract : Applications to Speech Production

   Author : Saeed Dabbaghchian; Olov Engwall; Sidney Fels; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vocal tract; upper airway; speech production; biomechanical model; acoustic model; vocal tract reconstruction; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

   Abstract : Human speech production is a complex process, involving neuromuscular control signals, the effects of articulators' biomechanical properties and acoustic wave propagation in a vocal tract tube of intricate shape. Modeling these phenomena may play an important role in advancing our understanding of the involved mechanisms, and may also have future medical applications, e. READ MORE
