• November 2017

私たちの声は、他人から見た私たち自身の印象と区別できせません。しかし、私たちと自分自身の声との関係は非常に不明瞭です。レベッカ・クラインバーガーは、私たち人間がどのように声を使い、どのようにして自分の声と他人の声を理解するのかを研究しています。このトークでは、自分の声が嫌いだと感じるのであればそれはなぜかなのか、「外向きの声」「内向きの声」「内声（心の声）」の違いとは何か、そして自分自身は気づかずに私たちが発している驚くべき情報について解説します。

Kenneth N. Stevens | The MIT Press, 1999 | Book

Acoustic Phonetics

Very important bible to understand the vocal apparatus! Must of us have a voice, but how many of us can explain how it works? Because it is so hidden from sight, contrary to arms and leg muscle actions, and also because it requires a living human to study, the complex functioning of the voice box has been a mystery until quite recently in the history of humanity.

Frank H. Guenther | Article

"Neural control of speech movements"

Guenther is THE reference to understand the neural basis of the human voice and voice disorders. It is not really possible to study the neurology of speech on mice which makes all this research even more fascinating.

"A test for Parkinson's with a phone call"

I am very grateful to have had the chance to shortly overlap with Max Little at the MIT Media Lab and discovering his work was a key factor in my own research path. The magical potential of his research, and how generously he would explain it to me, were really inspirational. I recommend reading his PhD thesis for more in-depth understanding.

Marcela Perrone-Bertolotti | Behavioural Brain Research, 2014 | Article

"What is that little voice inside my head? Inner speech phenomenology, its role in cognitive performance, and its relation to self-monitoring"

Very inspirational paper on the phenomenology of inner speech from common behavioral to cerebral correlates that also describes different types of inner speech. Also useful to understand better the feedback and feedforward models in speech.

Viktor Mülle and Ulman Lindenberger. | PloS one, 2011 | Article

"Cardiac and respiratory patterns synchronize between persons during choir singing"

Very well written paper on some of the hidden powers of the voice in group dynamics and interpersonal action coordination. Another instance of the fact that the voice is not a passive tool but very active both inside of us and with others.

John F. Houde et al. | Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2002 | Article

"Modulation of the auditory cortex during speech: an MEG study"

When you open your mouth to produce a vocal sound, your own auditory cortex "shuts down." The experiments described in this paper help us understand how the auditory cortex modulates its activity as a function of the expected acoustic feedback.
