Vowel Generation for Children with Cerebral Palsy using Myocontrol of a Speech Synthesizer

Vowel Generation for Children with Cerebral Palsy using Myocontrol of a Speech Synthesizer

For children with severe cerebral palsy (CP), social and emotional interactions can be significantly limited due to impaired speech motor function. However, if it is possible to extract continuous voluntary control signals from the electromyograph (EMG) of limb muscles, then EMG may be used to drive...
