Meeting Description:

The Ultrafest meetings bring together researchers from around the world
working
on the use of ultrasound imaging to understand the complexity of tongue
motion
in speech production. Building on the success of the previous 4 meetings,
this
conference, at Haskins Laboratories in New Haven, will address several
themes:

1. Results on linguistic patterning of tongue motion
2. Methods of quantification of tongue shape and motion
3. Comparison of tongue images from ultrasound and MRI
4. Computational physical models of tongue motion
5. Tongue motion developments through the life span and in various
dysfluencies

Two days will be devoted to presentations. A half-day session (19 March
2010)
prior to the main meeting will be a hands-on introduction to several systems
for
ultrasound imaging of the tongue, allowing a direct comparison for those
considering a new system or for those interested in evaluating their current
system.

Call for Papers

Proposals are invited for papers (40 minutes) and brief presentations
