| summary | In voice research, it is a challenging task to fully understand the physics behind the generation of
the human voice. The vocal tract generates and forms the basic tone which is generated in a
process called phonation. When investigating the components responsible for phonation in vivo
and in vitro, there are strict limitations: due to limited reproducibility of the phonation process
in excised larynxes, synthetic models have been developed. These models can be modified
to offer optical access which is mandatory for more detailed examinations of the larynx and
especially the vocal folds therein. The flow field upstream and downstream of the vocal folds is
regarded to play an important role within the fluid-structure-acoustic interaction during human
phonation. Modern, laser-based techniques are used to precisely investigate this interaction.
The seminar will give an insight on the cuurent research activities on synthetic vocal folds
at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. |
