As the primary means of communication, voice plays an important role in daily life. Voice
also conveys personal information such as social status, personal traits, and the emotional …

The goal of this study is to better understand the cause-effect relation between vocal fold
physiology and the resulting vibration pattern and voice acoustics. Using a three …

Sound for the human voice is produced by vocal fold flow-induced vibration and involves a
complex coupling between flow dynamics, tissue motion, and acoustics. Over the past three …

Human vocal folds are highly deformable non-linear oscillators. During phonation, they
stretch up to 50% under the complex action of laryngeal muscles. Exploring the …

Although stiffness conditions in the multi-layered vocal folds are generally considered to
have a large impact on voice production, their specific role in controlling vocal fold vibration …

Maintaining a small glottal opening across a large range of voice conditions is critical to
normal voice production. This study investigated the effectiveness of vocal fold …

Swelling in the vocal folds is caused by the local accumulation of fluid, and has been
implicated as a phase in the development of phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction and …

In this study we investigated the effect of sex-and age-related differences in vocal fold
length, thickness, and depth on voice production in a three-dimensional vocal fold model …

Featured Application A new method for measuring intraglottal and vocal fold contact
pressure is presented, and the accuracy and sensitivity of the approach is discussed. The …

Purpose Vocal fold diseases affecting the epithelium have a detrimental impact on vocal
function. This review article provides an overview of apoptosis, the most commonly studied …
