Abstract:
An artificial neural network model is presented which might correspond to one component of fundamental frequency (F0) control by the brain. Good F0 control could be achieved using only seven neurodes. These included three motor neurodes, a single inhibitory neurode influencing only the thyroarytenoid (TA) motor neurode, and three excitatory neurodes, one of which excited all motor neurodes and two of which excited the inhibitory neurode. The potential utility of this type of model in the study of mechanisms of vocal control is discussed.
