(Please apologize for cross-posting) ——————— We are happy to announce the following call-for-papers for a special issue on "Biosignal-based Spoken Communication" in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing (TASLP). Best regards Call for Papers Special Issue on Biosignal-based Spoken Communication in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing (TASLP) Speech is a complex process emitting a wide range of biosignals, including, but not limited to, acoustics. These biosignals – stemming from the articulators, the articulator muscle activities, the neural pathways, or the brain itself – can be used to circumvent limitations of conventional speech processing in particular, and to gain insights into the process of speech production in general. Research on biosignal-based speech capturing and processing is a wide and very active field at the intersection of various disciplines, ranging from engineering, electronics and machine learning to medicine, neuroscience, physiology, and psychology. Consequently, a variety of methods and approaches are thoroughly investigated, aiming towards the common goal of creating biosignal-based speech processing devices and applications for everyday use, as well as for spoken communication research purposes. We aim at bringing together studies covering these various modalities, research approaches, and objectives in a Special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing entitled Biosignal-based Spoken Communication. For this purpose we will invite papers describing previously unpublished work in the following broad areas:
