Vocal fold dynamics in a synthetic self-oscillating model: Intraglottal aerodynamic pressure and energy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Self-sustained oscillations of the vocal folds (VFs) during phonation are the result of the energy exchange between the airflow and VF tissue. Understanding this mechanism requires accurate investigation of the aerodynamic pressures acting on the VF surface during oscillation. A self-oscillating silicone VF model was used in a hemilaryngeal flow facility to measure the time-varying pressure distribution along the inferior-superior thickness of the VF and at four discrete locations in the anterior-posterior direction. It was found that the intraglottal pressures during the opening and closing phases of the glottis are highly dependent on three-dimensional and unsteady flow behaviors. The measured aerodynamic pressures and estimates of the medial surface velocity were used to compute the intraglottal energy transfer from the airflow to the VFs. The energy was greatest at the anterior-posterior midline and decreased significantly toward the anterior/posterior endpoints. The findings provide insight into the dynamics of the VF oscillation and potential causes of some VF disorders.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
