In virtual reality, the lack of kinesthetic feedback often prevents users from experiencing weight objects. Control-to-display (C/D) ratio manipulation has been proposed as a method to induce perception without feedback. Based on fact that lighter (heavier) objects are easier (harder) move, this induces an illusory by manipulating rendered position users' hands---increasing or decreasing their displayed movements. series experiments we demonstrate C/D-ratio genuine weight, while preserving...
We report on an articulatory study which uses electromagnetic articulograph to investigate word-initial consonant clusters in Italian. In particular, we involving a sibilant, such as spina ‘thorn’. The status of the sibilant clusters, referred ‘impure s’, is unresolved problem for syllable phonology Coordination patterns gestural targets consonantal and vocalic gestures reveal structural difference between obstruent–liquid e.g. /pr/, sibilant–obstruent /sp/. Whereas both /p/ /r/ have...
Abstract Purpose Over the course of COVID-19 pandemic, evidence has accumulated that SARS-CoV-2 infections may affect multiple organs and have serious clinical sequelae, but on-site examinations with non-hospitalized samples are rare. We, therefore, aimed to systematically assess long-term health status hospitalized infected individuals from three regions in Germany. Methods The present paper describes COVIDOM-study within population-based cohort platform (POP) which been established under...
Acoustic studies have revealed that patients with Essential Tremor treated thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) may suffer from speech deterioration in terms of imprecise oral articulation and reduced voicing control. Based on the acoustic signal one cannot infer, however, whether this is due to a general slowing down motor system (e.g., target undershoot desired articulatory goal resulting being too slow) or disturbed coordination caused by problems relative phasing movements). To...
Early during the pandemic and following protective countermeasures, an interest in consequences of enacted restriction social contacts for mental health population arose. Loneliness describes perceived quality one's own relationships with other individuals. Several prior studies reported associations loneliness different somatic psychiatric disorders.To analyse frequency its association depression anxiety symptoms first wave Germany May 2020.The German National Cohort (NAKO) had recruited...
To assess a phonological theory, we often compare its predictions to phonetic observations. This can be complicated, however, because it requires theoretical model that maps from representations articulatory and acoustic In this study are concerned with the question of how observations interpreted in relation theories. Specifically, argue deviations do not necessitate rejection assumptions. We critically discuss problem overinterpretation measures by using syllable coordination for different...
This study reports on a production experiment investigating tonal and articulatory means of encoding different focus structures in German.Using an electromagnetic articulograph, we examined the movements upper lower lips (related to sonority expansion) during target words occurring four conditions.We found systematic differences not only between unaccented vs. accented (background contrastive focus), but also within category 'accented': expression for broad were expressed by greater...
Speech variation is a naturally-induced phenomenon in human speech communication which can be attributed to the inevitably multifaceted nature of interactions between various higher-order linguistic and lower-order physiological factors. dynamic, it assumed that there are regulation mechanisms behind these complex structural, contextual phonetic cues leading an overwhelming variety gradient phenomena speakers’ behaviour. Recent years have increasingly witnessed extensive development...
Abstract Tashlhiyt is famous for its particularly marked syllable structure. Unlike the majority of world languages, including some related Berber varieties, allows not only vowels but all consonants – voiceless stops /t/, /k/ or /q/ to be nuclei a (e.g., [tkmi] `she smoked' analyzed as bisyllabic where sequence [tk] stands own with nucleus). A fundamental aspect this analysis concerns constraints on onset constituent: complex onsets are prohibited. consequence that prevocalic consonant...
This study investigated syllable coordination patterns in Essential Tremor (ET) patients treated with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) by using electromagnetic articulography. We analyzed articulatory timing for nine ET activated and inactivated DBS compared them to a group of healthy age-matched controls. focused on among gestures syllables low high complexity natural sentence production (simple CV versus complex CCV syllables). These were interpreted the framework coupled oscillator planning...
This study aims to explore the effects of healthy aging and Parkinson’s disease on speech motor performance. One area production which requires fine control is prominence marking. Therefore, strategies marking three speaker groups with four speakers each were investigated: younger speakers, older (PD). Acoustic articulatory data collected. Speech analyzed focusing prominence-related adjustments vowel tongue body movements in temporal spatial domain. Longer durations, varying initiation...
In this paper, we present ema2wav, a software conversion tool for electromagnetic articulographic data, producing multichannel WAVE files.The data can be converted either by executing stand-alone Python script or using user-friendly GUI.ema2wav allows the display and extraction of EMA trajectories as well smoothing computation derivatives Euclidean distances between sensors.A great asset converter is that it research community to process in widespread easy-to-use open-source programs like...
We investigated the effect of dialectal background on tonal alignment in LH rising pitch accents two varieties German: those spoken Düsseldorf and Vienna.We confirm findings Atterer & Ladd (2004, [1]) that L H tones prenuclear rises are aligned later Southern than Northern German varieties, and, more specifically, both Viennese were considerably any other varieties.Mean values for these can be located a continuum comprising all four varieties.
