How to normalize a signal to zero mean and unit variance?

Question

I am new to MATLAB and I am trying to built a voice morphing system using MATLAB.

So I would like to know how to normalize a signal to zero mean and unit variance us

Answer 1

It seems like you are essentially looking into computing the z-score or standard score of your data, which is calculated through the formula: z = (x-mean(x))/std(x)

This should work:

%% Original data (Normal with mean 1 and standard deviation 2)
x = 1 + 2*randn(100,1);
mean(x)
var(x)
std(x)

%% Normalized data with mean 0 and variance 1
z = (x-mean(x))/std(x);
mean(z)
var(z)
std(z)
