Abstract

A data acquisition and analysis system has been built and tested for the study of laryngeal dynamics: The system uses a computer to control the digitizing rate and to coordinate the pitch prompting for the subject. Tokens of steady state laryngeal vibration are obtained from an electroglottograph when the subject intones a series of computer prompted pitches in a musically scalar sequence. The system digitize the data at a basic rate of 200 samples per laryngeal cycle: This procedure enables the system to perform a modal analysis of laryngeal function: The signal processing and analysis procedure developed displays voice registration phenomena in a completely new and entirely cogent way.
