EGG: tools for electroglottographic analysis

This repository hosts scripts for analysis of the electroglottographic signal, and data samples.

1) a gallery of signals exemplifying different types of glottalization (work in progress)

See this folder. This strand of work is linked to the project of devising new scripts for the detection and characterization of various phonetic subtypes of glottalization.

2) peakdet_inter: a tool for semi-automatic analysis of electroglottographic signals

peakdet is a script for analyzing electroglottographic signals based on the detection of positive and negative peaks on the derivative of the EGG signal.

An earlier version of peakdet is hosted

• in the COVAREP repository as a function, without a user interface for data verification
• on a website called 'Voiceresearch' as a full-fledged script with visual verification of the results token by token.

The version available in the present repository has an interface for visual verification of the results token by token. This script is now called peakdet_inter to distinguish it from the core function, peakdet. The version proposed here has:

• an improved front-end (but you can still choose to view the results with the same colour theme as in version 1.0 if you prefer)
• an improved back-end: improvements to the main analysis algorithms.

Praat users are advised to try out James Kirby's praatdet or Cédric Gendrot's oq1praat.

3) a script for visualizing average curves for sets of tokens: aver
