Frank H. Guenther and Joseph S. Perkell
TR 1:00-2:40
location: 32-144

This course will describe the anatomy and physiology of the vocal tract and the neural control of speech movements. Examples of anatomical and physiological constraints on sound patterns and speech movements will be shown, along with observations of motor control strategies, the role of hearing and relations between production and perception. An historical overview of models of speech production will be presented. Current computational models of speech production will also be addressed, including treatment of the development of speaking skills and the neural substrate for speech production.
