Speech rhythm can be described as the temporal patterning by which speech events, such
as vocalic onsets, occur. Despite efforts to quantify and model speech rhythm across …

Brain and breathing activity are closely linked to each other. For instance, oscillations in
breathing have been causally linked to oscillations in arousal and cognition. However, the …
