Funded Activity Summary

Auto-oscillation of human vocal folds: Key experiments using acoustic loads. This project aims to explain the basic physics of the voice using new, non-invasive, acoustic techniques. The physics of the vocal folds’ aeromechanical oscillation are not understood because this precious tissue is unavailable for direct experiments. This project shall determine how the flow and pressure at the larynx behave under acoustical loads and develop a data set that selects which models can explain vocal fold motion under different conditions and determine the parameters in those models. This project could benefit the huge industries that treat, record, compress, transmit, analyse and synthesise the voice.
