Brad Story is an Associate Professor of Speech and Hearing Sciences at the University of Arizona and is a member of the National Center for Voice and Speech.  Dr. Story's research focuses on the use of computer models to aid in understanding how the shapes, sizes, and movements of both the voice source components and the vocal tract contribute to the sounds of speech.  To augment these models, his laboratory includes facilities for recording and analyzing acoustic, aerodynamic, and glottographic signals. In addition, Dr. Story is continuing a long-term project in volumetric (structural) imaging of the vocal tract shape using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
 
 

Research Interests:

  • Computer simulation of speech and voice

  • Expression of emotion in voice and speech
  • Volumetric imaging of the vocal, nasal, and subglottal systems
  • Analysis of speech signals
  • Mechano/acoustical interaction of the vocal folds and vocal tract
  • Speech-to-speech transformation
  • Perception of natural and synthetic speech
  • Acoustic radiation patterns of natural speech
