Modeling of vocal tract behavior during speech production requires accurate measurements of the entire vocal tract. To accomplish this, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed on a 0.5-T system with a custom-made, double-loop, wrap-around coil. A midsagittal section of the region from the glot

Most traditional theories of speech production are currently based on plane waves. However, it is well known that, for acoustic waveguides, higher acoustical modes start to propagate and can become predominant above cut-on frequencies. This paper thus presents the transmission line matrix method, a
A finite element model of the vocal tract was made in which the time-dependent, compressible, Navier Stokes equations were solved. No assumptions or simplifications in the physics were made, but a simple fixed wall tube was used as the vocal tract wall. The model was used to study the various effect
