Sentence examples for speech modulation from inspiring English sources

He has made fundamental contributions to the perception of speech, modulation, masking, and fine-time structure, as well as computational models of all the above.

For hands-free speech communications, one non-intrusive method called reverberation to speech modulation energy ratio (RSMR) has been shown to outperform the abovementioned standard algorithms, thus will be used in our studies.

Left panel: speech modulation frequency increases with syllabic rate.

The acoustic analysis of these sentences confirmed a correspondence between the dominant peak of the speech modulation spectrum and the mean syllabic rate (3 6 Hz), whereby syllabic boundaries correspond to trough in speech slow fluctuations (Peelle et al., 2013).

Theta auditory activity is better synchronized to speech modulations when speech is intelligible, irrespective of its temporal or spectral structure (Luo and Poeppel, 2007; Peelle et al., 2013).

In the present model, theta activity bears an intrinsic temporal predictive function: it is driven by speech modulations, but is also resilient enough to syllable length variations to stay tuned to the global statistics of speech (average syllable duration).

This index borrows the SNR-based approach from the SII/AI to model frequency-domain masking effects but uses preservation of speech modulations as a measure for quantifying time-domain distortions, such as reverberation and peak clipping.

Our proposal is further supported by a range of human fMRI studies using other types of complex sounds including modulated tones, dynamic spectral ripples and sine wave speech; whose modulation rates are typical of those observed in IRN.

With speech stimuli, modulation at 100% depth is required, whereas for music the 75% or even 50% modulation depths provide a reasonable compromise between the signal-to-noise ratio of SSFs and sound quality or perceptual requirements.

In comparison, sensorimotor integration function was preserved but shifted to easier task levels (SNR≥8 dB, the curve was shifted to the right) in the older group, indicating an increased need for speech motor modulation in aiding speech perception in older adults.

Finally, a speech-alike modulation signal is produced.
