Question
Answer
3 major goals of Scientific Endeavors   description, prediction, explanation  
🗑
Applied Research   tries to solve a specific problem with practical consequences  
🗑
Basic Research   directed toward the development of knowledge, with no immediate practical goal  
🗑
The method of science   1. collect data, 2. look for relationships among data, 3. Generate a theory or hypothesis, 4. Test hypothesis, 5. Generate new hypothesis and repeat 2-4  
🗑
Criteria for evaluation of a theory   terms must be operationally defined, theory must be parsimonious, inclusive, and verifiable  
🗑
Two tools to create data   spectrograph and pattern playback  
🗑
Caveat   the worst piece of equipment determines the best possible outcome  
🗑
Analog signals   speech sounds, musical tones, displacement of middle ear bones; continuous in time and in amplitude; exists at every moment  
🗑
Digital signal   discrete time signal; only exists at discrete points, not continuously; exists at given moments  
🗑
Two main operations in digitization   sampling and quantization  
🗑
Two operations before sampling and quantization   pre-emphasis filter and presampling (low-pass) filter  
🗑
Pre-emphasis filter   basically boosts higher frequencies  
🗑
Presampling filter   rejects energy above the highest frequency of interest  
🗑
Acceptable sampling rate   Nyquist theory-number of samples needed is twice the highest frequency of interest  
🗑
Aliasing   happens when higher frequencies appear as "fake" lower frequencies; due to undersampling and lack of low-pass filtering  
🗑
How to avoid aliasing   determine the highest frequency of interest, filter the energy above the highest frequency of interest, and sample the signal at a rate that is at least twice as high as the highest frequency of interest  
🗑
Quantization   converts the amplitude or energy level of the samples; measured in bits  
🗑
Bit level formula   2 to the nth power where n is bits  
🗑
Time Waveform   presents amplitude of the signal as a function of time; amplitude is on Y axis, time is on X axis  
🗑
Frequency   the number of times an object (such as an air molecule) vibrates through a complete cycle per second; measured in Hertz; frequency-1/time in seconds  
🗑
Spectrum   presents the amplitude of the signal as a function of frequency (amplitude on Y axis, frequency on X axis); creates a display of the frequency composition of a signal at a point in time  
🗑
Two main types of spectra used in speech analysis   FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and LPC (Linear Predictive Coding)  
🗑
FFT   decomposes a signal into its frequency components; amplitude on Y axis, frequency of X axis; line represents frequency components and their amplitudes  
🗑
LPC   method that attempts to predict upcoming speech samples based on weighted sum of previous samples; amplitude on Y axis, frequency on X axis; line represents estimated spectral peaks and their amplitudes  
🗑
Spectrogram   sounds are analyzed in a three dimensional pattern of time (horizontal axis), frequency (vertical axis), and amplitude (coded by different colors or shades of gray); has time domain and shows changes over time  
🗑
Two types of Spectrograms   Narrow-band and wide-band  
🗑
Narrow-Band Spectrogram   detailed frequency resolution; good for looking at pitch changes and harmonic structure (horizontal stripes); analysis bandwidth (window) has to be narrower than the distance in frequency between the harmonics of the voicing source  
🗑
Wide-Band Spectrograms   span over wider range of frequencies; vertical striations indicate glottal pulses (vertical striations); good for looking at resonances; analysis bandwidth has to be larger than the distance in frequency between the harmonics of the voicing source  
🗑
Three systems of speech production   respiratory, laryngeal, supralaryngeal  
🗑
Respiratory System   air source (power); serves as "air pump"  
🗑
Laryngeal System   sound source (vocal cord vibration)  
🗑
Supralaryngeal   sound filter (above the larynx)  
🗑
Parts of respiratory system   trachea, lungs, rib cage, abdomen (plus passageways through which air travels)  
🗑
Egressive   associated with air flowing out; expiration  
🗑
Ingressive   associated with inflowing air; inhalation  
🗑
Vocal Tract   includes air filled areas of the pharynx, mouth and nose; when organs in vocal tract move, shape of vocal tract is altered, form various sounds  
🗑
Parts of the Laryngeal system   between the trachea and the hyoid bone (the latter is part of the larynx)  
🗑
Vocal folds   paired folds that meet to close the glottis; each consists of muscle (thyroarytenoid) and vocal ligament; can be adducted or abducted  
🗑
Glottis   space between vocal folds  
🗑
Glottal cycle   constitutes of opening and closing of the glottis; happens as vocal folds vibrate  
🗑
Factors that determine the Glottal Cycle   1. mechanical coupling stiffness 2. stiffness 3. mass 4. viscous forces 5. Bernoulli force  
🗑
Mechanical coupling stiffness   strength of the connection between upper and lower portions of the mucosal cover  
🗑
Stiffness   degree of the longitudinal tension of the vocalis muscle  
🗑
Mass   thickness of the vocalis muscle  
🗑
Viscous Forces   dissipation of force applied to tissue  
🗑
Bernoulli Force   drop in pressure at medial edge of vocal folds  
🗑
Posterior Cricoarytenoid (PCA)   from posterior surface of cricoid cartilage to muscular processes of the arytenoids; only intrinsic laryngeal muscle whose contraction abducts the vocal folds  
🗑
Interarytenoid Muscles (IA)   transverse arytenoids (TA) and oblique arytenoids (OA)  
🗑
Lateral Cricoarytenoid (LCA)   laterally, from superior border of arch of cricoid cartilage to muscular process of arytenoids; adductor-closes and tenses vocal folds  
🗑
Cricothyroid (CT)   pulls thyroid forward and elevates arch of cricoid-regulates pitch by tensing or lengthening the vocal folds  
🗑
Pitch fall at end of utterance   sternohyoid-pulls hyoid down; active mechanism for pitch lowering and cricothyroid-relaxes;passive mechanism for pitch fall  
🗑
Supralaryngeal System   above the larynx (pharynx, oral and nasal cavities)  
🗑
Pharynx   musculomembranous tube  
🗑
Oral Radiation of Sound   through the oral cavity (not nasalized)  
🗑
Nasal Radiation of Sound   through the nasal cavity  
🗑
Articulator   the tongue  
🗑
Functional Parts of the Tongue   body of the tongue-bulk/mass, tip of the tongue, blade-behind the tip, dorsum-back, root-behind dorsal region  
🗑
Laryngeal Output   glottal buzz is caused by vocal fold vibration; periodic  
🗑
Avg male f0   123 Hz  
🗑
Avg female f0   211 Hz  
🗑
Avg 5 yr old male   252 Hz  
🗑
Avg 5 yr old female   247 Hz  
🗑
Infant cry:nondistressed   317-342 Hz  
🗑
Infant cry:startle   442 Hz  
🗑
Infant cry:pain   442 Hz  
🗑
Infant cry:hunger   442 Hz  
🗑
Alaryngeal f0:male   65 Hz  
🗑
Alaryngeal f0:female   87 Hz  
🗑
Harmonics   multiple integers of the fundamental frequency (Ex: f0=100 Hz, second harmonic=200 Hz, third=300 Hz)  
🗑
