Recent advances in real-time magnetic resonance imaging (RT-MRI) have made it possible
to study the anatomy and dynamic motion of the vocal tract during speech production with …

Effective treatment for children with residual speech errors (RSEs) requires in-depth
knowledge of articulatory phonetics, but this level of detail may not be provided as part of …

This paper introduces an algorithm for robust segmentation of airway-tissue boundaries in
the upper airway images recorded by the real-time magnetic resonance imaging. Compared …

Compared to low‐variability training, high‐variability training leads to better learning
outcomes and supports generalization of learning. However, it is unclear whether the …

In studies of dialect variation, the articulatory nature of vowels is sometimes inferred from
formant values using the following heuristic: F 1 is inversely correlated with tongue height …

In speech production, the anatomical morphology forms the substrate on which the speakers
build their articulatory strategy to reach specific articulatory-acoustic goals. The aim of this …

Purpose Speech production deficits and reduced intelligibility are frequently noted in
individuals with Down syndrome (DS) and are attributed to a combination of several factors …

Objectives Palate morphology is constantly changing throughout an individual's lifespan, yet
its asymmetry during growth is still little understood. In this research, we focus on the study of …

This paper presents an improved methodology for the segmentation of the Air-Tissue
boundaries (ATBs) in the upper airway of the human vocal tract using Real-Time Magnetic …

We propose a practical, feature-level and score-level fusion approach by combining
acoustic and estimated articulatory information for both text independent and text dependent …
