Discrete motor coordinates for vowel production
Current models of human vocal production that capture peripheral dynamics in speech require large dimensional measurements of the neural activity, which are mapped into equally complex motor gestures. In this work we present a motor description for vowels as points in a discrete low-dimensional spac...

In this work we present a motor description for vowels as points in a discrete low-dimensional space.
