PRESLA: An original device to measure the mechanical interaction between tongue and teeth or palate during speech production
نویسندگان
چکیده
An original experimental procedure is presented to measure the mechanical interaction between tongue and teeth and palate during speech production. It consists in using edentulous people as subjects and to insert pressure sensors in the structure of a replication of their dental prosthesis. This is assumed to induce no speech production perturbation for subjects who are used to speak with their prosthesis. Data collected from 4 subjects of French demonstrate the usability of the system.

A non-invasive device to measure mechanical interaction between tongue, palate and teeth during speech production
This paper describes an original experimental procedure to measure the mechanical interaction between the tongue and teeth and palate during speech production. It consists in using edentulous people as subjects and to insert pressure sensors in the structure of their complete dental prosthesis. Hence, there is no perturbation of the vocal tract cavity due to the sensors themselves. Several dupl...
متن کاملEffects of Tongue Plate on the Nasomaxillary Complex of Patients with Unilateral Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate
Background and aim: Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common orofacial abnormalities. Patients with these deformities commonly present with midface deficiency and need challenging treatment modalities that focus on improving the position of the maxilla. Tongue plate appliance is an intraoral device that has shown promising results in the treatment of growing patients with maxillary ...
متن کاملSpeaking Tongues Are Actively Braced.
Purpose Bracing of the tongue against opposing vocal-tract surfaces such as the teeth or palate has long been discussed in the context of biomechanical, somatosensory, and aeroacoustic aspects of tongue movement. However, previous studies have tended to describe bracing only in terms of contact (rather than mechanical support), and only in limited phonetic contexts, supporting a widespread view...
متن کاملA New Artificial Palate Design for the Optical Measurement of Tongue and Lip Movements
Electropalatography (EPG) is a well-known and established technique to measure the detailed time-varying contact pattern between the tongue and the hard palate. For EPG, the speaker wears an artificial palate in his mouth, which contains multiple electrodes (contact sensors) to register contact with the tongue. A related technique, albeit less known, is glossometry or optopalatography (OPG). Fo...
متن کاملPhysical models of the human vocal tract with gel-type material
Beginning in 2001, we have been developing models of the vocal tract to promote a more intuitive understanding of the theories for speech science for technical and non-technical students. In this paper, we compared and contrasted four newer models of the talking heads: our original model with a gel-type tongue, a similar model including teeth and palate, a third model with teeth and palate havi...
