💬🧠💪 Moving your arms can change how you sound. When we move our arms, the muscles affect lung volume—affecting loudness and intensity of our voice. The body and voice are well connected, with potential implications for speech therapy and human-like robotics: 👉

Dafür suchen wir Familien mit Kids < 2 Jahren, die Teilnahme geht über eine App (Leihgeräte haben wir). Macht ihr mit oder leitet bitte weiter? 👉👈😍

Je länger wir aufs neue #WissZeitVG warten, desto mehr exzellente Leute verliert die dt. Wissenschaft. Denn anderswo gibt's deutlich bessere Bedingungen & echte Perspektiven. Das hat mir das #Top40unter40-Event von CAPITAL eindrücklich vor Augen geführt. Heute im #ArbeitInDerWiss-Newsletter:

1) The breath noises have several weak peaks that align with resonances found in a very controlled setting where participants inhaled with the VT configuration of a central vowel in doi.org/10.1121/1.50...
Our paper is out and OA 🔐🥳
It's the first description of the spectral characteristics of speech breath noises produced by a large number of speakers. In addition, we modeled in- and exhalations with 3D-printed vocal tract models 🫁
Woohoo, that's awesome! Congrats, Tom! 🥳
