Towards Precision Assessment of Dysphonic Speech: From Vocal Fold Physiology to Perception
Project Summary/Abstract The ways in which vocal fold (VF) vibratory behavior and resulting voice quality (VQ) perception differ across vowel categories and the co-articulatory variations of connected speech are unknown and largely unexplored. Furthermore, phonatory adjustments during connected speech (possible variations in voicing onsets and offsets and articulatory transitions) may provide important clinical information that can guide diagnostic protocols, may correspond closely with perceived handicap, and may represent functionally-relevant treatment targets. The overall goal of the proposed research is to discover and quantify physiological mechanisms underlying normal and abnormal VF…
