DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2018.08.001
Abstract: Humans perceive speech as being relatively stable despite acoustic variation caused by vocal tract (VT) differences between speakers. Humans use perceptual 'vocal tract normalisation' (VTN) and other processes to achieve this stability. Similarity in vocal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2019.109484
Abstract: The acoustic spectrum of our voice can be divided into harmonic and inharmonic sound components. While the harmonic components, generated by the oscillatory motion of the vocal folds, are well described by reduced-order speech models,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-58103-6
Abstract: The various speech sounds of a language are obtained by varying the shape and position of the articulators surrounding the vocal tract. Analyzing their variations is crucial for understanding speech production, diagnosing speech disorders and… read more here.

Experimental and numerical investigation of the sound generation mechanisms of sibilant fricatives using a simplified vocal tract model
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Physics of Fluids"
DOI: 10.1063/1.5013632
Abstract: The sound generation mechanisms of sibilant fricatives were investigated with experimental measurements and large-eddy simulations using a simplified vocal tract model. The vocal tract geometry was simplified to a three-dimensional rectangular channel, and differences in… read more here.

The vocal tract as a time machine: inferences about past speech and language from the anatomy of the speech organs

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2020.0192
Abstract: While speech and language do not fossilize, they still leave traces that can be extracted and interpreted. Here, we suggest that the shape of the hard structures of the vocal tract may also allow inferences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1121/1.5035850
Abstract: At birth, human infants can cry, but they cannot articulate anything like the sound patterns of their mothers' speech that they have been hearing in the last month or so in the womb. Learning to… read more here.

Relationship between intraglottal geometry, vocal tract constriction, and glottal flow during phonation of a canine larynx
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of the Acoustical Society of America"
DOI: 10.1121/1.5067817
Abstract: Hypothesis: The rapid reduction of the glottal volume flow rate, which usually occurs in normal phonation during the closing of the vocal folds, is measured by a quantity known as the maximum flow declination rate… read more here.
