Brain-Machine Interfaces for Real-time Speech Synthesis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2011-08)This paper reports on studies involving brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) that provide near-instantaneous audio feedback from a speech synthesizer to the BMI user. In one study, neural signals recorded by an intracranial ... -
A Noninvasive Brain-Computer Interface for Real-Time Speech Synthesis: The Importance of Multimodal Feedback.
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-04)We conducted a study of a motor imagery brain-computer interface (BCI) using electroencephalography to continuously control a formant frequency speech synthesizer with instantaneous auditory and visual feedback. Over a ... -
Examining sensory ability, feature matching, and assessment-based adaptation for a brain-computer interface using the steady-state visually evoked potential
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-01-31)PURPOSE:We investigated how overt visual attention and oculomotor control influence successful use of a visual feedback brain-computer interface (BCI) for accessing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices ... -
Development of speech prostheses: current status and recent advances
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-09)Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) have been developed over the past decade to restore communication to persons with severe paralysis. In the most severe cases of paralysis, known as locked-in syndrome, patients retain ... -
Brain-Computer Interfaces for Speech Communication
(Elsevier, 2010-04)This paper briefly reviews current silent speech methodologies for normal and disabled individuals. Current techniques utilizing electromyographic (EMG) recordings of vocal tract movements are useful for physically healthy ... -
Why Dose Frequency Affects Spoken Vocabulary in Preschoolers With Down Syndrome
(American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2015-07)In an earlier randomized clinical trial, daily communication and language therapy resulted in more favorable spoken vocabulary outcomes than weekly therapy sessions in a subgroup of initially nonverbal preschoolers with ... -
Spatially separating language masker from target results in spatial and linguistic masking release
(Acoustical Society of America, 2016-11)Several studies demonstrate that in complex auditory scenes, speech recognition is improved when the competing background and target speech differ linguistically. However, such studies typically utilize spatially co-located ... -
Modeling of oropharyngeal articulatory adaptation to compensate for the acoustic effects of nasalization
(Acoustical Society of America, 2016)Hypernasality is one of the most detrimental speech disturbances that lead to declines of speech intelligibility. Velopharyngeal inadequacy, which is associated with anatomic defects such as cleft palate or neuromuscular ... -
Predicting Speech Intelligibility Decline in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Based on the Deterioration of Individual Speech Subsystems
(Public Library of Science, 2016-05-05)Purpose: To determine the mechanisms of speech intelligibility impairment due to neurologic impairments, intelligibility decline was modeled as a function of co-occurring changes in the articulatory, resonatory, phonatory, ... -
Spatially separating language masker from target results in spatial and linguistic masking release
(Acoustical Society of America, 2016-12-01)Several studies demonstrate that in complex auditory scenes, speech recognition is improved when the competing background and target speech differ linguistically. However, such studies typically utilize spatially co-located ... -
Hearing Loss in Perinatally Human Immunodeficiency Virus- Infected and Human Immunodeficiency Virus -Exposed but Uninfected Children and Adolescents
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2012-08)Background Little is known about hearing loss in children with HIV infection (HIV+). We examined the prevalence of hearing loss in perinatally HIV+ and HIV-exposed but uninfected (HEU) children, compared these to the ... -
Evaluation of Risk for Late Language Emergence after In Utero Antiretroviral Drug Exposure in HIV-exposed Uninfected Infants
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2013-10)BACKGROUND Combination antiretroviral (cARV) regimens are recommended for pregnant women with HIV to prevent perinatal HIV transmission. Safety is a concern for infants who were HIV-exposed but uninfected (HEU), particularly ... -
Cutaneous stimulation of the digits and lips evokes responses with different adaptation patterns in primary somatosensory cortex
(Elsevier, 2010-10-01)Neuromagnetic evoked fields were recorded to compare the adaptation of the primary somatosensory cortex (SI) response to tactile stimuli delivered to the glabrous skin at the fingertips of the first three digits (condition ... -
Meconium Atazanavir Concentrations and Early Language Outcomes in HIV-Exposed, Uninfected Infants with Prenatal Atazanavir Exposure
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2015-06-01)OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether prenatal atazanavir (ATV) exposure, assessed by meconium antiretroviral quantification, predicts early child language outcomes. Prenatal ATV exposure previously was associated with poorer ... -
Teaching requesting and rejecting sequences: An important step in early communication programming
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-09-01)Question: Can four children with severe developmental disabilities learn to produce a sequence of AAC responses aimed at rejecting one object and subsequently requesting another object in highly controlled settings? -
Oral and respiratory control for preterm feeding
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2009-06)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Feeding competency is a frequent and serious challenge to the neonatal intensive care unit survivors and to the physician–provider–parent teams. The urgency of effective assessment and intervention ... -
Central pattern generation involved in oral and respiratory control for feeding in the term infant
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2009-06)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Drinking and eating are essential skills for survival and benefit from the coordination of several pattern generating networks and their musculoskeletal effectors to achieve safe swallows. Oral-pharyng ... -
Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation changes speech respiratory and laryngeal control in Parkinson's disease
(Springer Verlag, 2010-10)Adequate respiratory and laryngeal motor control are essential for speech, but may be impaired in Parkinson's disease (PD). Bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN DBS) improves limb function in PD, but ... -
