COST Action 2103 Summer School - Modeling and Assessment of the Human Voice

- Numerical modelling (evaluation and comparison of different approaches)

- Experimental modelling (ex vivo, in vitro)

- Acquisition of laryngeal material parameters (numerical, experimental)

- Quantitative High speed imaging techniques and EGG techniques

The following topics have been proposed as tutorials (T) and hands-on workshops (W):

- T: Do acoustic measures need to correlate with perceptual parameters for being valid ? (Ph. Dejonckere)

- T: Linear models of voice signals: the system identification procedure (C. Manfredi et al.)

- T: Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Potential and Challenges for Modelling and Assessment of Human Voice (T. Niendorf et al.)

- T/W: Flow experiments in a passive vocal fold model (Ch. Brücker et al.)

- T+W: Voice Analysis: From Acoustics to High-Speed Videoendoscopy (D. Deliyski et al.)

- T+W: Singing Voice Assessment by means of electroglottography and impedance measurement techniques (N. Henrich)

- T+W: Assessment of 3D material data of the larynx (M. Kob et al.)

- T/W: High speed cameras for evaluating vocal cord movement (M. Pedersen)

- T/W: Numerical and experimental methods for material parameter determination (A. Sutor & M. Stingl)

- W: Segmentation of MRI data: How to extract larynx geometries (A. Gömmel et al.)

- W: Physical models and numerical methods for the simulation of human phonation (Kaltenbacher et al.)

- W: Interactive demonstrations - voice analysis tools (C. Manfredi et al.)

- W: Demonstrations on inverse filtering basing on direct supra- and subglottal pressure measurements (K. Neumann et al.)

Students can attend the COST 2103 Summer School at no cost. Student participants need to submit an application using the registration webpage. The application shall contain a short (2 pages) summary of the research work. Students can apply for the best poster award. In that case the application shall contain the abstract of the poster which will be displayed and judged during the COST 2103 Summer School.
