PLIN3101 - Phonetic Theory

Outline (more details can be found on the Life Sciences Faculty Courses Database)

The general aim of this course is to develop an understanding of how communicative meanings are encoded through articulation in speech. This year the focus will be on the tonal and intonational aspects of speech. The specific aim is to understand tone and intonation in speech from an articulatory-functional prospective.

CochSim - Cochlear Simulation teaching tool

CochSim is a dynamic simulation of the time and frequency analysis performed by the ear. Sound signals such as sinewaves, pulse trains, sawtooth waves and vowels can be fed into an auditory filterbank and the output monitored in a moving animated display. The program shows the vibration of the oval window and the basilar membrane, the haircell activity against filter frequency and time, and an average excitation pattern across the cochlea.

ESYNTH - Harmonic analysis/synthesis teaching tool

ESynth is a free program designed to explain the harmonic analysis and synthesis of signals. With ESynth you can create signals by adding together individual sinusoidal waveforms (sinewaves) and study the resulting waveform and spectrum. You can also perform an analysis of an input waveform, to see how a given sound can be represented in terms of a sum of sinewaves.
