Jon's work on improved prediction of subglottal pressure using a neck-surface accelerometer has been accepted for publication in a special issue in the IEEE Journal of Special Topics in Signal Processing on "Automatic assessment of health disorders based on voice, speech and language processing." We incorporate features extracted using subglottal impedance-based inverse filtering of the accelerometer signal (the expertise of our colloborators in Chile)....

At the recent AQL conference in Hong Kong, Daryush presented work from a collaboration between researchers at the MGH Voice Center and optics experts at Physical Sciences, Inc.
 

4D laryngeal imaging by synchronously combining OCT with videostroboscopy

Although laryngeal videostroboscopy continues to play a central role in diagnostic, surgical, and therapeutic decisions during the management of voice disorders, videostroboscopy is limited to 2D imaging of...

We are very excited to receive a P50 grant from the NIH National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders to create a Clinical Research Center for the Improved Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Vocal Hyperfunction (PD/PI: Hillman, PIs: Mehta, Stepp, Zanartu).

Abstract

Vocal hyperfunction (VH) is associated with the most frequently occurring types of voice disorders. These include benign vocal folds lesions (e.g., nodules and polyps) and...
