Previous work has shown that human neural responses to male-and female- uttered speech differ.
We used the same talkers and found that when the male and female talker had the same fundamental frequency, auditory brainstem responses were similar.

ABRs to both talkers became smaller and later with increasing fundamental frequency.
These changes were similar to click ABRs changes with stimulus rates.

#SIG10 study found that vocal fry (VF) - a low-pitched, grating voice quality trending among young women - negatively impacts how a speaker is perceived. SLP grad students should be cognizant of VF use as they seek competitive externships & jobs. on.asha.org/3bRWuD9 #slpeeps

Out today -- collaborative work with @ShinnCunningham and @maddox_lab about the importance of spatial cues in selective attention to audio-visual speech. Happy with the outcome and our ability to adapt to online experimentation!
