Abstract
A data acquisition and analysis stem for use in the study of laryngeal dynamics has been built and tested. The special feature of the system is the computer controlled digitizing rate and coordinated subject pitch prompting. Tokens of steady state laryngeal vibration are obtained from an electroglottograph when the subject intones a series of computer prompted pitchs in a musically scalar sequence. The digital samples of this data are captured by the system at a basic rate of 200 samples per laryngeal cycle. This procedure enables the system to perform a modal analysis of laryngeal function, not unlike the analysis of a machine in its own rotatino frame. The signal processing and analysis procedure developed in this wort, display voice registration, phenomena in a completely new and entirely cogent way.
