Perception of size modulated vowel sequence: Can we normalize the size of continuously changing vocal tract?
2009
Acoustical Science and Technology
Several studies have demonstrated that the normalization of vocal tract size can be achieved in a bottom-up manner. ...
Changes in vocal tract size vary the formant frequencies, even when the shape of vocal tracts is the same and the spoken vowels are categorized to be the same. ...
According to a study that investigated the relation between the height and the vocal tract length [8] , for which the correlation was high, the vocal tract length of the current speaker was estimated ...

A Biomimetic Vocalisation System for MiRo
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
This paper describes how MiRo's vocalisation system was designed, not using pre-recorded animal sounds, but based on the implementation of a real-time parametric general-purpose mammalian vocal synthesiser ...
According to [11] , vocal tract length is correlated with body size: L = 3.15 + (11.53 × log M ). (7) This means that large animals have long vocal tracts and thus low formant frequencies (and vice versa ...

Assessment of infant cry: Acoustic cry analysis and parental perception
2005
Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews
The cry signal results from coordination among several brain regions that control respiration and vocal cord vibration from which the cry sounds are produced. ...
Recall that formants are the harmonic content of a sound produced by mouth shape and vocal cord length. The infant vocal tract is obviously different in size and shape from the adult vocal tract. ...
The infant vocal tract is smaller than the adult vocal track. ...

Segmentation Strategies for Streaming Speech Translation
2013
North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
In order to improve ASR performance for our diverse data set, adaptation techniques such as constrained model adaptation and vocal tract length normalization are found to be useful. ...
We also experiment with inserting text segmenters of various types between ASR and MT in a series of real-time translation experiments. ...
The Vocal Tract Length Normalization (VTLN) was applied in two different ways. One was estimated on an utterance level, and the other at the talk level. ...

For the latter, we suggest to represent voice signal as vocal gestures, contributing with several voice analysis methods. To demonstrate the obtained results, we developed two real-time prototypes. ...
This segmentation algorithm is designed for a real-time operation in low-latency conditions. ...
Performance Analysis
Real-time operation In terms of interaction, a digital musical instrument should work in real-time and with a latency as low as possible. ...

Cortical sensitivity to periodicity of speech sounds
2008
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
The behavior of the N1m latency and the emergence of a response cascade at very low F0 values may reflect the lower limit of pitch perception. ...
Vowel F0 ranged from normal male speech ͑113 Hz͒ to exceptionally low values ͑9 Hz͒. Both the auditory N1m and sustained fields were larger in amplitude for periodic than for aperiodic vowels. ...

By using the prototype system, we find latency issues caused by a real-time processing. ...
An electrolarynx is an external device to generate excitation signals, instead of vibration of the vocal folds. ...
Their ability to generate sound source excitation signals is severely impaired because they no longer have their vocal folds, although their vocal tracts remain. ...

The wide gammut of calls and accompanying behaviour that was elicited is described and related to the normal behaviour, typical of the species concerned. ...
It is suggested that the inferior colliculus incorporates the origin of a final common pathway to medular motor centres for all vocalization generating structures. ...
Even while proposing this scheme, I believe that it does not adequately reflect the real complexity of the vocalization substrate. ...

BMC Neuroscience
from the vocal tract leads to asymmetric behaviour of the left and right hemisphere. ...
The variations in the latency and strength of the auditory N1m response can be traced back to the spectral structure of the stimuli. ...
Changing the shape and the length of the vocal tract results in different formant frequency settings and, consequently, in variations of the perceived phoneme category. ...
