| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of this research project is to test the effects of exposure of different forms
of tactile speech feedback on overt stuttering frequency.
|
| Study Summary: |
|
A new medical grade device (FDA - category exempt) has been newly designed and built at the
University of Mississippi within the departments of Communication Sciences & Disorders,
Exercise Science, and Computer and Electrical Engineering. The device records either sound
waves (via a small standard microphone) or three dimensional accelerometer data from the
throat of a stuttering subject. This data is digitally signal processed, and "fed back" to
the user in the form of a small vibrating disk/film that can be held between the fingers or
mounted on the skin. This feedback data does not require the subject to attend to the
incoming signal.
