<p>A treatment system for reducing stuttering uses an auditory feedback modification technique to train the stutterer's speech motor control system (12) to be more stable. A feedback modifier feeds back the stutterer's speech to the stutterer with a perturbation that is small enough to pass a validator (29) function that is believed to be part of the speech motor control system (12). The small perturbations increase the difference between the target speech and the fed back speech, which is believed to cause the speech motor control system (12) to decrease the Kalman gain (28). over a treatment program, it is believed that the perturbations 'train' or adapt the stutterer's speech motor control system (12) so as to reduce the Kalman gain (28), which is further believed to persist when the auditory feedback is discontinued.</p> |
