[The voice and speech]

Biophysics is the science comprising the sum of biophysical disciplines describing living systems. It also includes the biophysics of voice and speech. The latter deals with physiological acoustics, phonetics, phoniatry as well as logopaedics. In connection with the problems of voice and speech, including also their teaching problems, a common language is often being sought for appropriate to all the interested scientific branches. As a result of our efforts aimed at removing the existing barriers we have tried to set up a University Society for the Study of Voice and Speech. One of its first activities was also, besides other events, the realization of a videofilm On voice and speech.
