Taylor Swift changed her accent when living in different cities. Miski Mohamed and I analyzed the acoustics of her vowel articulation, showing key features of Southern accent during Taylor’s time in Nashville, and lowered voice pitch during her time in New York City

or, in reverse, find the frequency that lives on a specific spot on the basilar membrane

mm2freq <- function(position=NULL, A = 165.4, a = 2.1, length = 35, k = 0.88){
return(A*((10^((a*position)/length))-k))}

use R to pinpoint where a sound frequency falls on the basilar membrane in the cochlea

freq2mm <- function(freq=NULL, A = 165.4, a = 2.1, length = 35, k = 0.88){
return(log10((freq/A)+k)*length/a)}

need more real-life examples like this to demonstrate audio concepts

with geom_box(), every plot is a box plot

(2/2)... people with cochlear implants show more carryover effort from one utterance to the next, which would impair flowing conversation. Importantly, the amount of carryover effort was not predictable just based on the listener’s percent-correct score!

Mentally fixing a word that you missed can lead to missing the next thing the talker says. This is a common problem for people who have hearing loss, but is ignored by audiological testing. Check out our new open-access paper on this topic here!

When a talker repeats the same vowel sequence 34 times in quick succession, a good phonetician simply can’t let that opportunity pass.
