💬🧠💪 Moving your arms can change how you sound. When we move our arms, the muscles affect lung volume—affecting loudness and intensity of our voice. The body and voice are well connected, with potential implications for speech therapy and human-like robotics: 👉

This Thursday!
Wir möchten im #Babylab gern mehr dazu erfahren, was Kinder schon über #Sprache wissen, bevor sie richtig sprechen können. Dafür suchen wir Familien mit Kids < 2 Jahren, die Teilnahme geht über eine App (Leihgeräte haben wir). Macht ihr mit oder leitet bitte weiter? 👉👈😍

My dissertation "The phonetics of speech breathing : pauses, physiology, acoustics, and perception" has been published and is available as open access via dx.doi.org/10.22028/D29... 📖🔐
Very cool stuff!📑 Check it out, along with the lovely RMarkdown file we made: wimpouw.github.io/kineticsvoice/
Je länger wir aufs neue #WissZeitVG warten, desto mehr exzellente Leute verliert die dt. Wissenschaft. Denn anderswo gibt's deutlich bessere Bedingungen & echte Perspektiven. Das hat mir das #Top40unter40-Event von CAPITAL eindrücklich vor Augen geführt. Heute im #ArbeitInDerWiss-Newsletter:

3) We tried to compare real inhalations and model inhalations but there is a myriad of mechanisms that are either hard to model or still un(der)-researched for speech breathing, so there's many interesting things left to do :)
2) Comparing in- vs exhalation spectra in the 3D-printed VT models, airflow direction changes the spectral properties /s ʃ ç i:/, but not the other sounds we investigated.↔️
The main findings are:
1) The breath noises have several weak peaks that align with resonances found in a very controlled setting where participants inhaled with the VT configuration of a central vowel in doi.org/10.1121/1.50...
Our paper is out and OA 🔐🥳
It's the first description of the spectral characteristics of speech breath noises produced by a large number of speakers. In addition, we modeled in- and exhalations with 3D-printed vocal tract models 🫁
Woohoo, that's awesome! Congrats, Tom! 🥳
