Figure 1. Experimental glottal view of vocal fold adduction.

Figure 1

Superior view of glottis with India ink fleshpoints seen on the left and right mid and posterior vocal folds. Left frame is resting posture just at the onset of left LCA stimulation. Right frame is final fully activated posture showing full adduction of the left vocal fold at the vocal process. Open white circle denotes point of reference along the posterior vocal fold at rest just before motion onset. White arrow denotes trajectory of vocal fold adduction. Red ‘+’ denotes final adducted posture. The time it takes to go from the white circle to the red ‘+’ is taken as the activation time.
