The objective of the present work is to provide a detailed review of expressive speech
synthesis (ESS). Among various approaches for ESS, the present paper focuses the …

In this study, previous articulatory midsagittal models of tongue and lips are extended to full
three-dimensional models. The geometry of these vocal organs is measured on one subject …

A three-dimensional (3D) tongue model has been developed using MR images of a
reference subject producing 44 artificially sustained Swedish articulations. Based on the …

Restoring natural speech in paralyzed and aphasic people could be achieved using a Brain-
Computer Interface (BCI) controlling a speech synthesizer in real-time. To reach this goal, a …

Modeling speech production and speech articulation is still an evolving research topic.
Some current core questions are: What is the underlying (neural) organization for controlling …

Acoustic simulation of sound propagation inside the vocal tract is a key element of speech
research, especially for articulatory synthesis, which allows one to relate the physics of …

Although it is clear that eyebrow and head movements are in some way associated with
spoken prosody, the precise form of this association is unclear. To examine this, eyebrow …

Two auditory feedback perturbation experiments were conducted to examine the nature of
control of the first two formants in vowels. In the first experiment, talkers heard their auditory …

An original three-dimensional (3D) linear articulatory model of the velum and
nasopharyngeal wall has been developed from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and …

Purpose This study compares the precision of the electromagnetic articulographs used in
speech research: Northern Digital Instruments' Wave and Carstens' AG200, AG500, and …
