Preface
What is Different Computational profiling as described in this book differs from prior efforts in one key respect. The fact that voice is correlated to many human parameters has been known to scientists, doctors, philosophers, priests, performers, soothsayers—in fact, to people of myriad vocations for centuries. Many of these correlations have been scientifically investigated, and demonstrated or proven in many ways. The key difference between that earlier science, and what this book represents is simply this: while earlier methods were focused on demonstration and proof of existence (of such relationships), and used observable relations to attempt to predict human parameters from voice, the current science does not require such observables. It is built instead on the hypothesis that if any factor whatsoever influences the human mind or body, and if that influence can be linked to the human voice production mechanism through any pathway whatsoever, then there must exist an effect on voice. The current science of profiling
