Human Speech

I was right in Shasta and I'm a politician and experimental phonologists, and my research mainly concentrates on how human speech sounds are produced, and the relationship between that physical production and the vocal tract and the acoustics of the speech sound itself. So, in order to study things like position of the tongue, the lips, the soft palate, the larynx, the jaw, it's important to be able to use a number of different technologies in tandem with acoustic recording. So, technology that I use includes magnetic resonance imaging, electromagnetic articulography, electropalatography, and speech aerodynamics to better create models and maps between the position and movement of the articulators in the vocal tract and the acoustics of speech. This work has important implications for speech pathology, speech recognition, and speech synthesis.
