Sine wave speech is an example I use in my early Linguistics classes to reinforce the position that speech perception is basically magic. Absolutely incredible

Sine wave speech is an example I use in my early Linguistics classes to reinforce the position that speech perception is basically magic. Absolutely incredible that it works.
- xecax 11y agoIt's a fantastic example, isn't it? I had to give a lightning presentation about a topic in linguistics for a class and the SWS synthesis demonstration grabbed the crowd's attention like nothing else.
- wanderfowl 11y agoYeah, it's a real crowd pleaser, particularly if you play the individual components of the signal one-at-a-time first, so they hear nothing linguistic, and then combined, language! It so nicely captures one of the key takeaways from my own line of research, which focuses on our robustness, as listeners, to problems and variability in the signal.
