Convergence in voice fundamental frequency in a joint speech production task - Dataset

This dataset contains fundamental frequency values for 30 pairs of participants performing an alternate reading task.

Fundamental frequency in each speaker's speech was artificially modified in real-time during the task. We provide both the untransformed and transformed fundamental frequency values.

Full description of the experimental setup is found in < insert paper DOI here >

The data is organised as follows:

data for each pair is stored in a separate folder with the pair ID as the folder name

each folder contains two repetitions of the task, as produced in a zero-phase and pi-phase condition, respectively

file names ending with 'f0' contain fundamental frequency data, sampled every 10 ms

file names ending with 'turns' contain time onsets of speaking turns

The format of 'f0' files is as follows:

't': time in seconds

'ch': channel of the recording, indicating the participant (A or B)

'f0_unstransf': fundamental frequency values as produced by the participant (untransformed) in Hertz

'f0_transf': fundamental frequency values as heard by the other participant (transformed) in Hertz

The format of 'turns' files is as follows:

'ch': channel of the recording, indicating the participant (A or B), or both participants at once (joint)

'turn': index of the reading turn

'type': turn type. Either speech or silence for each participant, or turn for the joint description.

't': turn onset in seconds
