Abstract

A throat microphone may include one or more transducers that are in contact with the skin in the region of the larynx of person, and may provide a vibration signal to a processing unit. The vibration signal may also include energy and information relating to secondary physiological phenomena such as breathing and heartbeat, in addition to the desired sonic signal. The processing unit may utilize information relating to the secondary physiological phenomena to control a filter that outputs the desired sonic signal.
