Respiration is a brain function on which our lives essentially depend. Control of respiration
ensures that the frequency and depth of breathing adapt continuously to metabolic needs. In …

Is the singing voice processed distinctively in the human brain? In this Perspective, we
discuss what might distinguish song processing from speech processing in light of recent …

The role of aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 viruses in airborne transmission of COVID-19 has
been debated. The aerosols are transmitted through breathing and vocalization by infectious …

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has shifted attention to the airborne transmission of
exhaled droplet nuclei within indoor environments. The spread of aerosols through singing …

In this study, emission rates of aerosols emitted by professional singers were measured with
a laser particle counter under cleanroom conditions. The emission rates during singing …

Objective To conduct an interdisciplinary literature review on the function of the pelvic floor
musculature during respiration and its role in phonation, particularly singing. Study Design …

Background Singing is a complex physical activity dependent on the use of the lungs for air
supply to regulate airflow and create large lung volumes. In singing, exhalation is active and …

Background Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a cornerstone in chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) management. However, PR adherence is generally low, and barriers …

Introduction The role of respiratory exercises in voice therapy remains unclear as many
patients do not need extensive breath support to meet their voice demands. However, since …

Purpose: Breathing is ubiquitous in speech production, crucial for structuring speech, and a
potential diagnostic indicator for respiratory diseases. However, the acoustic characteristics …
