This stream of research aims to elucidate how communicative movements, whether produced orally or through manual signs, are constrained and determined by human mechanics and control, and how we can better understand these through computer simulation and experimental validation. This interdisciplinary research is both advancing our understanding of the basics of speech and movement and providing new possibilities for modelling oral surgery, computer animation, audiovisual telecommunications, and other applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-css-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:319px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"541\" height=\"550\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-959\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/isrl\/files\/2021\/06\/Screenshot-2021-06-10-164638.png\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/isrl\/files\/2021\/06\/Screenshot-2021-06-10-164638.png 541w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/isrl\/files\/2021\/06\/Screenshot-2021-06-10-164638-295x300.png 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center a, a:hover, a:active, a:visited { color: white; } has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/isrl\/manual-sign-language\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">Links between Speech\/Sign and Locomotion<\/mark><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\" style=\"min-height:319px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-1996\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/isrl\/files\/2021\/10\/merch-husey-0hbJ1evpnwg-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/isrl\/files\/2021\/10\/merch-husey-0hbJ1evpnwg-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/isrl\/files\/2021\/10\/merch-husey-0hbJ1evpnwg-unsplash-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/isrl\/files\/2021\/10\/merch-husey-0hbJ1evpnwg-unsplash-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/isrl\/files\/2021\/10\/merch-husey-0hbJ1evpnwg-unsplash-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/isrl\/files\/2021\/10\/merch-husey-0hbJ1evpnwg-unsplash-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/isrl\/tongue-and-lip-control-and-mechanics\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">Modular Control of Speech<\/mark><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biomechanics and Control When the body is used as a communication device, it is still subject to the constraints imposed by its components, such as muscles, bones and the nervous system.
