Auto-oscillation of human vocal folds: Key experiments using acoustic loads

这个项目旨在用新的、非侵入性的声学技术来解释声音的基本物理。声带空气力学振荡的物理原理尚不清楚，因为这种珍贵的组织无法用于直接实验。该项目将确定喉部的流量和压力在声载荷下的表现，并建立一个数据集，选择哪些模型可以解释不同条件下的声带运动，并确定这些模型中的参数。这个项目可以使处理、记录、压缩、传输、分析和合成声音的大型行业受益。

This project aims to explain the basic physics of the voice using new, non-invasive, acoustic techniques. The physics of the vocal folds’ aeromechanical oscillation are not understood because this precious tissue is unavailable for direct experiments. This project shall determine how the flow and pressure at the larynx behave under acoustical loads and develop a data set that selects which models can explain vocal fold motion under different conditions and determine the parameters in those models. This project could benefit the huge industries that treat, record, compress, transmit, analyse and synthesise the voice.
