Of course, his dummies never sounded out of breath.
Outside his smaller lab is an office whose shelves are filled with those strange white dummy heads which sound scientists love (though they look as impersonal as crash dummies, each one, I learned, was modelled on a specific head and given a nickname: Carl, Philipp, Emanuel).
For each cognitive test, a model was constructed with background sound (dummy coded) as a categorical variable, and neuroticism and a continuous variable.
As we are in a robot audition context, we model the future robot by a child size dummy (1m 20) for the sound acquisition process, with 16 sensors fixed in its head (cf. Figure 9).
Corny chat about the glory days of rave, hoary reminiscing about how all this used to be fields of blokes sucking on dummies to the sounds of Altern-8?
A particular technique of experimental characterisation of a vibrating airborne sound source, the dummy source method, is explored.
And, just like your friends who don't know the difference between the UK and England, when you get the distinction wrong, you can inadvertently sound like a dummy.
For 90 minutes crew members snake past one another with ladders, smoke machines and life-size dummies, all without making a sound.
This is seen in the "ventriloquism effect", where sounds are attributed to a dummy because its mouth is moving, overriding where the sound is really coming from, the poker-faced ventriloquist.
The dummy is identified from the measured sound of the running original source using an array of control microphones.
