Finding Your Voice
Neural modulation for voice authentication and identity
Abstract
Exploring self-voice agency through neural modulation to strengthen personal identity against synthetic media threats.
Finding Your Voice addresses the vulnerability of human voice recognition in an age of synthetic media. The project explores the complexities of self-voice recognition and agency, focusing on the neurological processes that shape how we perceive and distinguish authentic voices from manipulated ones.
Overview
Research reveals that people often struggle to detect counterfeit or imitated voices, creating significant security risks including identity theft, financial fraud, and misinformation spread. This project aims to leverage neural modulation to develop personalized voice agents that strengthen personal identity and defend against deceptive audio manipulation.
Research Focus
- Artificial Intelligence and voice synthesis
- Voice authentication and recognition
- Neural modulation techniques
- Art and creative applications
