Uncovering the Hidden Gestures of Speech with High-Speed Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Jon Nissenbaum Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary
Sun, Tue-Fri, Jan 7-10, 12, 19, 26, 02-04:00pm, Tu/W/Th in E39-335, Sunday sessions 10A-1P, MEEI
No limit but advance sign up required (see contact below)
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Prereq: Basic familiarity with phonology or phonetics
How speakers control pitch, and the relation of tone production with phonological forms, is largely unknown. Precisely timed laryngeal gestures, like other speech movements, are too rapid for standard imaging methods. This class explores a novel MRI technique that generates 144 images/sec, allowing dynamic imaging of speech production. Participants will design and pilot their own experiments.
