Zachem my govorim. Istoriia rechi ot neandertal'tsev do iskusstvennogo intellekta - Koks Tom

This book is an exciting story of our ability to speak. Trevor Cox, acoustic engineer and presenter of BBC radio programmes, close-ups the basic mechanisms of speech, examines in detail how a voice defines a person and gives out its features. The book takes us back to the past, to the origins of the human race, asking important questions about what might threaten our uniqueness in the future. On this cognitive journey, we will meet with vocal scientists, sound engineers, neuroscientists and computer programmers whose experience and research will provide a deeper understanding of what we usually take for granted.
