Describes the acoustics of speech production & the mechanisms of the ear. Introduces psychological techniques to show the sensitivity & limits of hearing. Describes methods of analysing & synthesizing speech sounds. Gives an introduction to the machine recognition of speech.
Much of the theoretical work on speech perception was done in the twentieth century without the benefit of neuroimaging technologies and models of neural representation.
Drawing from different fields and diverse languages, this volume brings new insights to the debate on abstractions and canonical forms in linguistics: their psychological reality, descriptive adequacy, and technical implementability.
Cognitive Hearing Mechanisms of Language Understanding: Short- and Long-Term Perspectives
This volume is essential for those interested in speech recognition outside laboratory constraints.
Perceptual processes mediating recognition, including the recognition of objects and spoken words, is inherently multisensory. This is true in spite of the fact that sensory inputs are segregated in early stages of neuro-sensory encoding.
This book presents a systematic approach to the automatic recognition of simultaneous speech signals using computational auditory scene analysis.
In this volume, the authors provide an up-to-date synthesis of recent research in the area of speech processing in the auditory system, bringing together a diverse range of scientists to present the subject from an interdisciplinary ...
This book presents the revised tutorial lectures given at the International Summer School on Nonlinear Speech Processing-Algorithms and Analysis held in Vietri sul Mare, Salerno, Italy in September 2004.
Advances in Non-Linear Modeling for Speech Processing includes advanced topics in non-linear estimation and modeling techniques along with their applications to speaker recognition.
The book: Focusses on the state of the art in the study of speech perception and spoken word recognition Discusses the interplay between behavioural and cognitive neuroscience evidence, and between adult and developmental research Evaluates ...
