summaryThe vocal fold oscillation during phonation may be represented as a surface wave propagating through the tissues in the direction of the airflow. This model has been useful to identify threshold conditions for the oscillation onset and offset, to investigate optimal glottal geometry, and has even been successfully applied to the syrinx of songbirds. This talk will present a review of the model and our recent progress in the analysis of interactions of the glottal source with the upstream and downstream vocal tracts.
