AB  - This paper describes an exploratory analysis on the usefulness of the information made available from
Ultrasonic Doppler signal data collected from a single speaker, to detect velum movement associated to
European Portuguese nasal vowels. This is directly related to the unsolved problem of detecting nasality in
silent speech interfaces. The applied procedure uses Real-Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (RT-MRI),
collected from the same speaker providing a method to interpret the reflected ultrasonic data. By ensuring
compatible scenario conditions and proper time alignment between the Ultrasonic Doppler signal data and
the RT-MRI data, we are able to accurately estimate the time when the velum moves and the type of
movement under a nasal vowel occurrence. The combination of these two sources revealed a moderate
relation between the average energy of frequency bands around the carrier, indicating a probable presence
of velum information in the Ultrasonic Doppler signal
