U.S.-Germany Cooperative Research: Respiratory Correlates of Speech Variations and Applications to Speech Production Modeling

9821048斯蒂文斯这个论文强化奖支持肯尼斯·n·斯蒂文斯的研究生，来自麻省理工学院的珍妮特·斯利夫卡，与瑞典斯德哥尔摩皇家理工学院语言、音乐和听力系的贡纳·范特合作。这项研究的重点是了解肺压力的变化如何影响正常说话时发出的声音的变化。Fant博士在模拟语音产生和确定声道、喉部和呼吸系统变化的声学效应方面拥有独特的经验。斯利夫卡将使用KTH模型来分析在麻省理工学院收集的数据。

9821048StevensThis dissertation-enhancement award supports Kenneth N. Stevens's graduate student, Janet Slifka, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to work with Gunnar Fant of the Department of Speech, Music and Hearing at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. The research will focus on understanding how variations in lung pressure affect changes in sounds produced during normal speech. Dr. Fant runs a group with unique experience in modeling speech production and determining acoustical effects of changes in the vocal tract, larynx, and respiratory system. Ms. Slifka will use the KTH models to analyze data collected at MIT.
