Three new sound-manipulation tools for the neurosciences of speech and music
The CREAM ERC project (Cracking the emotional code of music, http://cream.ircam.fr), hosted in IRCAM, Paris, aims to bring together new technologies in audio signal processing and experimental research in the affective psychology/neuroscience of speech and music. In this talk, I will present three new voice-manipulation tools created in the project (among which the open-source software DAVID, available here: http://forumnet.ircam.fr/product/david/), and describe 3 experimental studies in which they were recently used: that of emotional vocal feedback (Aucouturier et al, 2016), facial mimicry of auditory smiles (Arias et al, 2018), and reverse-correlation of social prosody (Ponsot et al, 2018). We make these software tools available open-source for the neuroscience community, and hope that you will find them useful for your own work.
