Discrimination between Singing and Speaking Voices Using Local and Global Characteristics
Discriminating between singing and speaking voices by using the local and global characteristics of voice signals is discussed. From the results of subjective experiments, we show that human beings can discriminate singing and speaking voices with more than 70.0% and 99.7% accuracy from 200 ms and one second long signals, respectively. From the subjective experiment results, assuming that diffe...

متن کاملPerceptual complexity of faces and voices modulates cross-modal behavioral facilitation effects
Joassin et al. (Neuroscience Letters, 2004, 369, 132-137) observed that the recognition of face-voice associations led to an interference effect, i.e. to decreased performances relative to the recognition of faces presented in isolation. In the present experiment, we tested the hypothesis that this interference effect could be due to the fact that voices were more difficult to recognize than fa...
متن کاملThe Effect of L1 Persian on the Acquisition of English L2 Orthographic System on the Shared Grounds
This paper elaborates on Persian and English orthographic shared aspects to study the effects of L1 Persian on learning English as a foreign language. While there are some examples of letter and sound mismatches in the orthographic system of both languages, those of English are more complex than Persian.
