Introduction: People who undergo a total laryngectomy lose their natural voice and depend on alaryngeal technologies for communication. However, these technologies are often difficult to use and lack prosody. Surface electromyographic-based silent speech interfaces are novel communication systems that overcome many of the shortcomings of traditional alaryngeal speech and have the potential to seamlessly incorporate individualized prosody.

As eyewear devices such as smart glasses become more common, it is important to provide input methods that can be used at all times for such situations and people. Silent speech interaction (SSI) has the potential to be useful as a hands-free input method for various situations and people, including those who have difficulty with voiced speech. However, previous methods have involved sensor devices that are difficult to use anytime and anywhere.

Background/purpose: Water is the most commonly, and often the only tested material in swallow screening. Our objective is to assess the impact of food consistencies on the reliability of trial swallows in predicting aspiration in dysphagic patients, utilizing the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) levels.
Methods: All trial swallows were evaluated using 5 ml of standardized test food with IDDSI levels of 0, 2, 4, 5.

Laboratoire de Psychologie et NeuroCognition, UMR 5105, University Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, France.
Infants prefer infant-directed (ID) speech. Concerning talking faces, previous research showed that 3- and 5-month-olds prefer faces that produce native ID than native adult-directed (AD) speech, regardless of background speech being ID, AD or silent. Here, we explored whether infants also show a preference for non-native ID speech.
