Liu, Boquan; Polce, Evan; Sprott, Julien C.; Jiang, Jack J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to introduce a chaos level test to evaluate linear and nonlinear voice type classification method performances under varying signal chaos conditions without subjective impression. Study Design: Voice signals were constructed with differing degrees of noise to model signal chaos. Within each noise power, 100…

Winholtz, William S.; Ramig, Lorraine Olson – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1992
This paper describes the Vocal Demodulator as a new device for analysis of vocal tremor. The Vocal Demodulator produces amplitude-demodulated and frequency-demodulated outputs and measures the frequency and level of low-frequency tremor components in sustained phonation. The paper describes quantification of the demodulation process, validation…
