Exploring the role of the modulation spectrum in phoneme recognition.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The main objective was to investigate whether the broadening and narrowing of formant bandwidths had a significant effect on the identification of vowels often confused by Nucleus cochlear implant recipients using the Spectral Peak (SPEAK) speech coding strategy. Specifically, identification performance for s...
