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
