Research in Infant Speech Development
Welcome to the homepage of the Speech Research Lab (SRL) at the University of Arizona. Research activities at the SRL are focused on the following areas:
-Speech acoustics and articulation
-Acoustic Phonetics
-Volumetric imaging of the vocal tract
-Speech Simulation/Synthesis
-Respiratory kinematics of speaking and swallowing
-Aeromechanical measures of velopharyngeal function
