New cephalostat for speech physiology research.
A device for stabilizing a subject's head is described which does not depend on earposts, allows for voluntary evacuation by the subject, and can be constructed at low cost. This particular cephalostat is used currently for stabilizing the head in studies of speech production where lip and jaw transduction devices, mounted external to the subject, are employed.
