By inverting a model of speech production, assuming the existence of targets in speech, we propose an evaluation of the motor control related information, available in the acoustic signal; in this purpose the sensitivity of the model around the inferred control parameters is evaluated and perceptual tests are run on synthetic stimuli generated from these values.
