Voice Production Analysis

This research is concentrated in measurement, parametrisation analysis of the voice source, the glottal oscillations, in both speech and singing, and how features from the voice source are perceived.

Specific topics
Brain functions evoked by speech and 3D sounds
Measurement of brain responses to different speech signals and spatial signals.
Emotions in Speech
Detection and modelling of the emotions embedded in the speaker voice quality.
Occupational Voice Research
Occupational voice research investigates voice characteristics of speech professionals with objective measures in different circumstances.
Singing
This research mainly focuses on detecting differences between opera and musical theatre singing. By studying voice source characteristics, sub-glottal pressure and formant frequency variations, sound pressure levels, and differences in the spectral domain, the major characteristics in a voice can be mapped, and thus make comparisons possible.
Voice Source Parametrisation
The parametrisation of features in glottal activity, especially in the glottal flow.
