A Device for Tracking the Fundamental Frequency of Speech and its Application in the Assessment of 'Strain' in Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers

Abstract

The use of the speech signal for assessing physiological and psychological changes resulting from 'strain' in pilots and air traffic controllers is explained and a device is described for tracking one of the parameters of the speech signal, the fundamental frequency, to quantify changes in this parameter due to 'strain'.
