Do you have a burning question about your vocal tract? Turns out you can learn a lot from singing in an MRI scanner. Researchers from the University of Freiburg, Germany, asked a professional singer ...

When University of Southern California researchers Michael Proctor, Shrikanth Narayanan and Krishna Nayak wanted to know what beatboxing looked like from inside the vocal tract, they decided to do ...

And the printed vocal tract does not precisely match the living version: the researchers point out that Nesyamun’s tongue has atrophied, and his soft palate is missing.

To measure aspects of the vocal tract which are not visible externally, the researchers analysed 3D structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which capture the anatomical features of both soft ...

In JASA, researchers explore how anatomical variations in a speaker’s vocal tract affect speech production. Using MRI, the team recorded the shape of the vocal tract for 41 speakers as the ...
