Evaluation of contact pressure in human vocal folds during phonation using high-speed videoendoscopy, electroglottography, and magnetic resonance imaging
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mechanical stresses on the vocal folds surface during high pitch or amplitude phonation have been postulated to cause vocal fold damage. Models for the quantitative estimate of the contact pressure may be valuable for prevention and treatment. The objective of this study was to non-invasively estimate the contact pressure for different phonation types, frequencies and amplitudes in human subjects using concurrent high-speed videoendoscopy and eletroglottography. The edge velocities before and after contact were estimated from the analysis of consecutive digital images. Instantaneous contact areas were determined from electroglottography along with Magnetic resonance image (MRI). The contact pressure was assessed using the impulse momentum form of Newton's second law. Investigations were carried out in quantitative human subjects to compare contact pressures for three different voice types, frequencies and amplitude levels. Contact pressures for breathy, normal and pressed voice were obtained for five subjects. The results were verified through comparisons with values measured directly using a probe microphone. The proposed method appears to be robust and accurate for contact pressure estimation.

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.
