Our exploratory study looks for units of temporal structure in conversational Finnish speech. The relative significance of different hierarchical levels of rhythm was evaluated using Bayesian inference on a linear regression model based on coupled oscillators. Results suggest that stress, mora and possibly foot timing as rhythmic factors in Finnish...

This paper reports that the synchronous integer multiple oscillations of heart-cell networks or clusters are observed in the biology experiment. The behaviour of the integer multiple rhythm is a transition between super-and sub-threshold oscillations, the stochastic mechanism of the transition is identified. The similar synchronized oscillations ar...

Human listeners can distinguish between languages of different rhythmic classes (e.g. stress-and syllable-timed languages). The present study investigated the role of speech rate in this process. Acoustic data suggests (experiment I) that speech rate can distinguishes as reliable between stress-and syllable-timed languages as previously proposed co...
