LECTURE 02: A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF SPEECH PRODUCTION
- Objectives:
- Basic speech physiology
- Speech is a sound pressure wave
- Transduction to an electrical signal introduces distortion
- Acoustic analysis follows the same principles used in
electromagnetic wave propagation
- There are many ways to view a speech signal
- Concatenated tube models (linear acoustics)
