Dr. G ick is pursuing the thesis that these dimensionality reductions have strip ped the vocal tract of its natural biomechanics\, leaving a need for resea rchers to devise artificial mechanisms to manipulate these systems. An app roach is proposed that exploits naturally occurring mechanisms for DoF red uction in a realistic\, 3-dimensional vocal tract model (www.artisynth.org ). In this model context\, simulations suggest that the biomechanics of th e body itself may constitute an adequate theory of speech motor control. I deas/suggestions/discussion  are welcome!
