Discrimination of speaker sex and size when glottal-pulse rate and vocal-tract length are controlled (2007)
Journal Article
Smith, D. R. R., Walters, T. C., & Patterson, R. D. (2007). Discrimination of speaker sex and size when glottal-pulse rate and vocal-tract length are controlled. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 122(6), 3628-3639. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.2799507

A recent study [Smith and Patterson, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 118, 3177-3186 (2005)] demonstrated that both the glottal-pulse rate (GPR) and the vocal-tract length (VTL) of vowel sounds have a large effect on the perceived sex and age (or size) of a speak...

Neural representation of auditory size in the human voice and in sounds from other resonant sources (2007)
Journal Article
von Kriegstein, K., Smith, D. R. R., Patterson, R. D., Ives, D. T., & Griffiths, T. D. (2007). Neural representation of auditory size in the human voice and in sounds from other resonant sources. Current biology : CB, 17(13), 1123-1128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2007.05.061

The size of a resonant source can be estimated by the acoustic-scale information in the sound [1-3]. Previous studies revealed that posterior superior temporal gyrus (STG) responds to acoustic scale in human speech when it is controlled for spectral-...
