Paper accepted at Proceedings of the Royal Society B

Although I left academia a year ago, I have some publication news! A paper I worked on together with Wim Pouw, Lara S. Burchardt, and Luc Selen has been accepted for publication by the Royal Society B. We looked into how the biomechanics of gestures influence the voice, using a load of multimodal signals including audio, 3D motion tracking via video (for movement), EMG (for muscle activation), RIP (for breathing via torso circumference) and a plate to measure center of pressure (for posture). We show that moving the arms (while manipulating mass) recruits (postural) muscles that interact with the voice through respiratory interactions.

While waiting for publication, the postprint is already available and so is the RMarkdown showing the methods and results. Wim also made a great post about it on Bluesky.
