Models and analysis of vocal emissions for biomedical applications: 5th International Workshop: December 13-15, 2007, Firenze, Italy

The MAVEBA Workshop proceedings, held on a biannual basis, collect the scientific papers presented both as oral and poster contributions, during the conference. The main subjects are: development of theoretical and mechanical models as an aid to the study of main phonatory dysfunctions, as well as the biomedical engineering methods for the analysis of voice signals and images, as a support to clinical diagnosis and classification of vocal pathologies. The Workshop has the sponsorship of: Ente Cassa Risparmio di Firenze, COST Action 2103, Biomedical Signal Processing and Control Journal (Elsevier Eds.), IEEE Biomedical Engineering Soc. Special Issues of International Journals have been, and will be, published, collecting selected papers from the conference

Models and Analysis of Vocal Emissions for Biomedical Applications

The Models and Analysis of Vocal Emissions with Biomedical Applications (MAVEBA) workshop came into being in 1999 from the particularly felt need of sharing know-how, objectives and results between areas that until then seemed quite distinct such as bioengineering, medicine and singing. MAVEBA deals with all aspects concerning the study of the human voice with applications ranging from the neonate to the adult and elderly. Over the years the initial issues have grown and spread also in other aspects of research such as occupational voice disorders, neurology, rehabilitation, image and video analysis. MAVEBA takes place every two years always in Firenze, Italy

This book of Proceedings collects the papers presented at the 4th International Workshop on Models and Analysis of Vocal Emissions for Biomedical Applications, MAVEBA 2005, held 29-31 October 2005, Firenze, Italy. The workshop is organised every two years, and aims to stimulate contacts between specialists active in research and industrial developments, in the area of voice analysis for biomedical applications. The scope of the Workshop includes all aspects of voice modelling and analysis, ranging from fundamental research to all kinds of biomedical applications and related established and advanced technologies

Diagnostical Analysis of Voice

Cílem práce bylo vytvořit přehledovou studii informačních zdrojů zabývajících se diagnostickou analýzou hlasu. Dalším krokem bylo naprogramování vybraných metod pro odhad hlasivkových pulzů. Posledním krokem bylo vyhodnocení vhodných kritérií pro určení vybraných patologických hlasů a vlivu stresu na průběh hlasivkových pulzů. Byly naprogramovány dva algoritmy pro výpočet hlasivkových pulzů. V závěru práce bylo navrženo několik kritérií pro určení stresového stavu na základě odhadu hlasivkových pulzů.Goal of this work was create survey study of information resources deal with diagnostic analysis of speech signal. Two methods for estimation of glottal flow was programmed. Finally, attention was focused on determination of criterions for description of selected pathological diagnosis and influence of stress on the glottal flow. Outcome of this work is proposal two criterions for describe influence of stress on the glottal flow.
