Degrading speech through an electronic synthesis technique called vocoding has been shown to affect cerebral processing of speech in several cortical areas. However, it is not clear whether the ...

Code from our paper Expediting TTS Synthesis with Adversarial Vocoding. Sound examples can be found here. To install in a virtual environment, follow these instructions: virtualenv -p python3 ...

This really cool project allows a grand piano to “speak”. We don’t know any details about its construction but we had to share. The keys are being hit by solenoids in a manner to replicate human ...

Attended speech is comprehended better not only if more acoustic detail is available, but also if it is semantically highly predictable. But can more acoustic detail or higher predictability turn into ...

Listening to degraded speech can be challenging and requires a continuous investment of cognitive resources, which is more challenging for those with hearing loss. However, while alpha power (8–12 Hz) ...

The music enhancement project is designed to transform music recorded with consumer-grade microphones in reverberant, noisy environments into music that sounds like it was recorded in a recording ...

Abstract: The objective of these new algorithms is to specify the means of reducing the vocoding conversions among different PLMN, PSTN and IP networks. This invention is one of the key enabler to the ...
