Frank Guenther talked about his research on the DIVA (Directions Into Velocities of Articulators) model. He explained that it is a neural network model, which deals with the creation of speech and the attainment of speech motor skills. Using computers he explained the model is able to regulate the actions of a vocal tract to create speech sounds. Guenther revealed that the DIVA model’s neural mappings are adjusted in a “babbling phase.” In this instance audio feedback from speech sounds is…
