1 Isabelle Cossette – At the beginning you talked about the oblique muscles and the intercostals muscles. I was wondering how you differentiated the activity of the different intercostals muscles and the oblique and transverse, because those are thin sheets that are superimposed, and it's very difficult in fact with EMG to differentiate them.

2 Isabelle Cossette – I was wondering if you took into account the distortion of the chest wall because with the respi-trace you cannot really see how the chest wall is distorted. […listen to audio for remainder.] Audio link.

3 Jim Doing – It seems like we can change the trapezius maybe most of any of those things, and you talked about biofeedback, can you give us a few tips? In a voice lesson, what kind of biofeedback can we give in a short amount of time that will help them do that? Audio link.
