9821048史蒂文斯这个论文增强奖支持肯尼斯N。史蒂文斯的研究生，珍妮特Slifka，从马萨诸塞州理工学院，与贡纳范特的演讲，音乐和听力系在斯德哥尔摩，瑞典皇家理工学院。这项研究将集中在了解肺压的变化如何影响正常讲话过程中产生的声音的变化。 Fant博士管理着一个在语音生成建模和确定声道、喉部和呼吸系统变化的声学效果方面具有独特经验的团队。 Slifka女士将使用KTH模型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.
