A vocoder-based speech synthesis system, named WORLD, was developed in an effort to
improve the sound quality of real-time applications using speech. Speech analysis …

In this paper, we investigate the effect of a realism mismatch in the voice and appearance of
a photorealistic virtual character in both immersive and screen-mediated virtual contexts …

Our ability to infer a speaker's emotional state depends on the processing of acoustic
parameters such as fundamental frequency (F0) and timbre. Yet, how these parameters are …

Purpose Research comparing different biofeedback types could lead to individualized
treatments for those with residual speech errors. This study examines within-treatment …

Musicians outperform non‐musicians in vocal emotion perception, likely because of
increased sensitivity to acoustic cues, such as fundamental frequency (F0) and timbre. Yet …

Personality changes following neurosurgical procedures remain poorly understood and
pose a major concern for patients, rendering a strong need for predictive biomarkers. Here …

There is growing evidence showing that the representation of the human “self” recruits
special systems across different functions and modalities. Compared to self-face and self …

Objectives: Research on cochlear implants (CIs) has focused on speech comprehension,
with little research on perception of vocal emotions. We compared emotion perception in CI …

Several studies have demonstrated that individuals' ability to perceive a speech sound
contrast is related to the production of that contrast in their native language. The theoretical …

Purpose Using naturalistic synthesized speech, we determined the relative importance of
acoustic cues in voice gender and age perception in cochlear implant (CI) users. Method We …
