The Brain and the Voice in Speech and Song by F. W. Mott
"The Brain and the Voice in Speech and Song" by F. W. Mott is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work explores the intricate relationship between the physiological mechanisms of the human voice and the neurological processes involved in speech and song production. Mott aims to present complex concepts in an accessible manner, making the content relevant not only for medical professionals but also for educators and the
general public interested in the science of vocalization. At the start of the book, the author outlines the series of lectures that form the foundation of the text, specifically focusing on the mechanics and origin of speech. He references various theories on how speech has evolved alongside human intelligence and emotion, emphasizing the significance of both vocal instruments and the brain's cerebral mechanisms. Mott discusses elements like the functioning of the larynx, the role of sound and noise, and the anatomy of the vocal apparatus, setting the stage for a detailed examination that combines anatomy, physiology, and evolutionary theory. Overall, the opening portions establish both the scientific rigor and the aim to make the material insightful and understandable to a wider audience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
