On normalized MSE analysis of speech fundamental frequency in the cochlear implant-like spectrally reduced speech.

In this paper, we present a quantitative study on the speech fundamental frequency (F0) of the cochlear implant-like spectrally reduced speech (SRS). The SRS was synthesized from the subband amplitude and frequency modulations (AM and FM) of original clean speech utterances selected from the TI-digits database. The SRS synthesis algorithm was derived from the frequency amplitude modulation encoding (FAME) strategy, proposed by Nie et al.
