Indication:<\/strong>\u00a0Professor Hani Camille Yehia – Department of Electronic Engineering – School of Engineering\/UFMG<\/p>\n Period:<\/strong> September 21 to October 16, 2009<\/p>\n Eric Vatikiotis-Bateson holds degrees in Physics and Philosophy from St. John\u2019s College, Maryland, United States (1974), certified in Ethnographic Film Production (1976), and MA in Linguistics from Indiana University (1978). From 1982 to 1987 he served, through the American National Institutes of Health (NIH), as a predoctor at Haskins Laboratories in Connecticut, investigating “the organization and control of speech production”. After receiving a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Indiana University in 1987, he was hired as a scientist at the Haskins Laboratory. From 1990 to 2003 he worked at ATR International in Japan. During this time, he and his collaborators have examined production and perception in multimodal communication in complex environments, as well as associated brain functions, especially with spoken language processing, generating over 150 technical papers and journal publications and several patents in coding. and decoding multimodal signals. From 2000 to 2003, he coordinated the Communication Dynamics Project at ATR’s Human Information Science Laboratory. Since 2003, Eric Vatikiotis-Bateson has served as Research Chair of Canada at the Canadian Research Council on Natural Sciences and Engineering (NSERC), Level 1, in Linguistics and Cognitive Science and is Director of the Cognitive Systems Program at the University of British Columbia , Vancouver, Canada.<\/p>\n Active research topics: Eric Vatikiotis-Bateson Specialties:
\n\u2013 interaction of vocal effort with body posture in speech and singing;
\n\u2013 audiovisual correlates of speech production with Lombard effect;
\n\u2013 real-time estimation of space-time coordination of signals;
\n\u2013 examination of linguistic organization from the perspective of communication and \u201cperformance\u201d, rather than the perspective of formal coherence and \u201ccompetence\u201d. Particularly, treatment of linguistic expression as multi-modal and composed of vocal and non-vocal gestural channels.<\/p>\n
\n\u2013 measurement and analysis of multimodal behavior;
\n\u2013 dice-based \u201ctalking heads\u201d animation;
\n\u2013 orofacial biomechanics and kinematics associated with speech production;
\n\u2013 functional behavior of the three-dimensional jaw during speech and mastication.<\/p>\n
