Communication and Swallowing: Cough and Throat Clearing Biomechanics

Throat Clearing, Coughing, and Alternative Behaviors

Sponsor: NIH/ National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders  |  PI: Heather Bonilha
The goal of this project is to evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of coughing, throat clearing, and clinically advocated alternatives via high-speed endoscopy recordings and to assess the efficiency to which these behaviors dispel both laryngeal mucus and the associated laryngeal sensation.
