Laryngeal videoendoscopy is one of the main tools in clinical examinations for voice disorders and research. Using high-speed videoendoscopy, it possible to fully capture vocal fold oscillations, however, processing recordings typically involves a time-consuming segmentation glottal area by trained experts. Even though automatic methods have been proposed task particularly suited deep learning methods, there are no public datasets benchmarks available compare allow training generalizing...
Vocal fatigue is a measurable form of performance resulting from overuse the voice and characterized by negative vocal adaptation. dose refers to cumulative exposure fold tissue vibration. Professionals with high demands, such as singers teachers, are especially prone fatigue. Failure adjust habits can lead compensatory lapses in technique an increased risk injury. Quantifying recording inform individuals about potential important step toward mitigating Previous work establishes dosimetry...
Purpose: Most auditory–perceptual voice research utilizes the judgments of trained listeners rather than everyday with no previous training in speech pathology. Online crowdsourcing behavioral data from untrained participants is rapidly increasing popularity but has yet to be a common procedure for studies voice. The objective this pilot study was assess functionality model by using an online experiment platform replicate lab-based, voice-specific age estimation study. Method: Fifty...
The source of ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) produced by rats is thought to be within the larynx. purpose this investigation was determine if rat larynx capable producing ultrasounds with full range frequencies reported in vivo. Acoustic output excised larynges and without vocal fold constriction measured. At biologically-reasonable airflow rates pressures, only a vivo, providing support for hypothesis that likely USVs.
Aging affects voice production and is associated with reduced communicative ability quality of life.Voice therapy a critical component treatment, but its effects on neuromuscular mechanisms are unknown.The ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) rats can be used to test the aging use laryngeal system.This study tested hypothesis that age-related changes in USVs junctions reversed through vocal exercise.Young old were trained for 8 weeks increase their compared no intervention group pre-and...
Many individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) have difficulty producing normal speech and voice, resulting in problems interpersonal communication reduced quality of life. Translational animal models communicative dysfunction been developed to assess pathology. However, it is unknown whether acoustic feature changes associated vocal production deficits these lead compromised communication. In rodents, male ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) a well-established role functional inter-sexual To test...
Objective The human voice is sexually dimorphic in obvious ways, such as differences fundamental frequency and gross laryngeal anatomy, but also less apparent the prevalence types of disorders manifestation changes advanced age. Differences between males females are rarely explored, however, mechanistic animal studies. goal this study was to explore sexual dimorphism function structure adult rats by examining ultrasonic vocalization acoustics muscle fiber size type thyroarytenoid muscle....
Abstract Alterations in neuromuscular junction (NMJ) structure cranial muscles may contribute to age‐related deficits critical sensorimotor actions such as swallowing. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is used swallowing therapy, but it unclear how NMJ affected or if morphology best measured two three dimensions. Two‐ and three‐dimensional measurements of the genioglossus muscle were compared rats that had undergone 8 weeks hypoglossal nerve vs. untreated controls. The relationship...
Despite recent exciting research about pair bonding, little is known how mammalian vocalizations change with the initiation and maintenance of bonding in monogamous species. Moreover, even less significance bond resilience face social challenges. In strictly California mouse (Peromyscus californicus), we measured changes ultrasonic (USV) other behaviors within male-female dyads over course characterized associations USVs affiliation aggression. After one week cohabitation, pairs exhibited...
Voice deficits are a common complication of both Parkinson disease (PD) and aging; they can significantly diminish quality life by impacting communication abilities. (1, 2) Targeted training (speech/voice therapy) improve specific voice deficits,(3, 4) although the underlying mechanisms behavioral interventions not well understood. Systematic investigation therapy should consider many factors that difficult to control in humans, such as age, home environment, age post-onset disease, severity...
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is widely recognized as a regulator of tyrosine hydroxylase via mechanism trans-synaptic activation. Subsets adrenal medullary cells and postganglionic sympathetic nerves coexpress the neurotransmitter neuropeptide Y (NPY) with catecholamines. Using PC12 transiently expressing fusion gene in which bacterial enzyme chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) under control 700 base pairs 5′ flanking region NPY gene, we have studied role VIP related pituitary...
Endoscopic high-speed video (HSV) systems for visualization and assessment of vocal fold dynamics in the larynx are diverse technically advancing. To consider resulting "concepts shifts" neural network (NN)-based image processing, re-training already trained used NNs is necessary to allow sufficiently accurate processing new recording modalities. We propose discuss several approaches convolutional networks (CNN) being HSV segmentation. Our baseline CNN was on BAGLS data set (58,750 images)....
