The federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA Program 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders will provide $238,500.00 to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate physiological sources of modulated voice in speakers with vocal tremor. The study aims to determine if simultaneously recorded neck-skin vibration sensor and head-mounted microphone signals can differentiate the subsystems (respiratory, laryngeal, vocal tract) involved in voice modulation in singers producing vibrato and in speakers with vocal tremor. The findings may advance assessment methods and facilitate individualized, targeted treatments for vocal tremor. The award period is from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2025.
