Pioneer Work in Autonomous Machine-to-Machine Communication

Autonomous machine-to-machine communication is driving the next industrial revolution, combining our physical, digital and biological worlds. Dimitris Pados, Ph.D., department of computer and electrical engineering and computer science, Charles E. Schmidt Eminent Scholar in Engineering and Computer Science and I-SENSE Fellow, talks about how FAU is providing the infrastructure and leading the way for this new autonomous communications system.

Voice Disorders Impact Listeners

FAU researchers recently co-conducted a study to determine if there are differences in speech intelligibility (ability of a listener to hear a speaker's message) in healthy voices compared to those who have voice disorders such as breathiness, hoarseness, loss of voice or a “croaky” voice. The results, published in the Journal of Voice , show that speakers with voice disorders demonstrated a tenfold increase in the number of speech intelligibility errors compared to speakers with healthy voices.
