- The electroglottographic waveform is of interest for characterizing phonation non-invasively. Existing parameterizations tend to give disparate results because they rely on somewhat arbitrary thresholds and/or contacting events. It is shown that neither are needed for formulating a normalized contact quotient and a normalized peak derivative. A heuristic combination of the two resolves also the ambiguity of a moderate contact quotient, with regard to vocal fold contacting being firm versus weak or absent. As preliminaries, schemes for electroglottography signal preconditioning and time-domain period detection are described that improve somewhat on similar methods. The algorithms are simple and compute quickly.
