Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the variant speech under mental stress, especially the variant speech under multi-tasking brain load pressure, has a relatively low degree of auditory discrimination, and the general acoustic features cannot classify it correctly, lacking stability and robustness
In addition, since the generation mechanism of variant speech is significantly different from that of normal speech, the degree of expression of the variant state at the level of acoustic features is relatively low, and the degree of discrimination is relatively low
Therefore, during the detection process, it is difficult for us to improve the reliability of variant speech classification

Abstract

The invention relates to a vocal cord-larynx ventricle-vocal track linked physical model and a mental pressure detection method. The physical model includes a mechanical equation set for describing a vocal cord motion model, and an aerodynamics equation set for describing pressure drop distribution in a glottis depth direction and a larynx ventricle-false vocal cord-vocal track direction. A physiological parameter estimation algorithm is designed through the established vocal cord-larynx ventricle-vocal track linked physical model, so that a physiological variation mechanism of phonation in a pressure state is researched. Physiological feature parameters of the vocal cords and the larynx ventricle when a speaker phonates in the pressure state are extracted, and a relation from real voice signals to physiological features is established. According to the estimated physiological parameters, variation features of various vocal organs and the flow state of airflow in the vocal organs under the influence of pressure variation factors are obtained, and the variation features are used for detection of the mental pressure. The detection recognition precision and reliability are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of intelligent voice technology, in particular to a method for detecting mental stress by using voice technology. Background technique [0002] Psychological stress refers to the comprehensive physical and mental reflection when people find that real or imagined things exceed their expectations. Psychology shows that too much stress can lead to negative and painful stress responses, triggering negative emotions such as depression, tension, anxiety and anger, resulting in a decline in work efficiency and quality of life. Psychologists believe that long-term living under the pressure of life will lead to serious mental illness, and increase the sensitivity of the human body to disease, and even lead to cancer. There is a significant correlation between emotion and stress. Psychological stress can induce a variety of emotions, such as excitement, loss, boredom, etc., and under different levels of stress sources, it will...
