DAF is a technique used by stutterers to create fluency in their speech,
although it is usually combined with other forms of therapy procedures
supplied by a speech therapist. Basically, in layman’s terms, the way DAF
works is by playing back what you are saying fractions of a second after
you’ve actually spoken, resulting in clear although slowed speech. The
first order of business is always to address the cause of the stutter
though, or else therapy may not be adequate.
Paxil, like any drug, is just that… a drug. It doesn’t target the
stuttering itself, it just targets the effects. I suggest you rather go and
visit a speech therapist who can do therapy with you. Psychiatrists may
know a lot about the mind but they know virtually nothing about speech. I’m
a speech therapist by profession and I can tell you that there is nothing
wrong with stuttering 🙂 it doesn’t effect who you are or how clever you
are.
Hearing ones own voice is retroactive, most of the current theories of
stuttering ascribe it to deficits in preprogramming or programming, or
integration of the sensory feedback with the predictive models for speech.
Close but a bit off in your interpretation.
As Paxil, what i do now us still sray with the Paxil and whenever begins to
loose the effect, i switch temporarily to any other prescribed anti
anxiety/ depression medication just for maybe 2 or 3 months and then go
back to the Paxil and the body reacts to it like is the first time.
so does this mean that the reason why it works is that a person who
stutters has a problem hearing his own voice in some way? Ok, I will answer
this since I was smart enough to come up with the right question. The
answer is: YES!!
can u tell me deatails about Delayed auditory feedback (DAF) how it is
working. your video is help full 4 me but i want more search about it
If you search PubMed you will find several hundred peer reviewed
publications about it, as there are many interpretations for why it works.
Well said in both posts.
Most of the pharmaceutical trials that have been tried with stuttering are
variants of anxiety or depression medications. If you read Gerald McGuire’s
book offered through the National Stuttering Association, it goes through
most of the research.
It doesn’t affect who you are and how clever you are??? Of course it does.
How would you know, you don’t have the problem. Look, it was nice of you to
say that but it is not true, t DOES affect who you are, obviously.
Ok for all the stutterers of this earth. I went to a social worker and told
him i wanted to kill myself becayse of the stuttering and is was totaly
true. He refered me to a psychistrist who prescribed me Paxil and the
highest dose and it reduced my stuttering at least 50%, it was amazing!
After few months it begins to loose efect and then i asked for another anti
anxiety medication byt nothing worked
this is legendary!!!
You are correct, Sir. There was a time when there were very few of us
working on digital music synthesis. In the early ’70s, Dartmouth’s
Synclavier, Australia’s Fairlight CMI, and UIUC PLATO’s Gooch Cynernetic
Synthesizer were the only choices to be shown at the conventions. I once
travelled 2000 miles, prior to constructing the first pitch-extraction
peripheral, to ask Andy Moorer’s permission to use his algorithm in it.
That must all seem like a bunch of silly nonsense to you guys now!
Great video! 1988 or thereabouts? Haven’t seen a NeXT for quite a while 🙂
I am building an acoustic guitar synth with physical modeling and got the
J.O.Smith book on physical audio signal processing. I am having great time
developing it and learning all these things from the past.
epic
Seems like all the people who started to apply physical modelling knew each
other lol. Also the basic plucked string is a bit like FM reminds me of the
megadrive.
