Book Analysis of Speech of People with Parkinson s Disease

Download or read book Analysis of Speech of People with Parkinson s Disease written by Juan Rafael Orozco-Arroyave and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of speech of people with Parkinson's disease is an interesting and highly relevant topic that has attracted the research community during several years. The advances in digital signal processing and pattern recognition have motivated the research community to work on the development of computational tools to perform automatic analysis of speech. Most of the contributions on this topic are focused on sustained phonation of vowels and only consider recordings of one language. This thesis addresses two problems considering recordings of sustained phonations of vowels and continuous speech signals: (1) the automatic classification of Parkinson's patients vs. healthy speakers, and (2) the prediction of the neurological state of the patients according to the motor section of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Recordings of three languages are considered: Spanish, German, and Czech. German and Czech data were provided by other researchers, and Spanish data were recorded in Medellin, Colombia, during the development of this work. Besides the classical approaches to assess pathological speech, a new method to model articulation deficits of Parkinson's patients is proposed. This new articulation modeling approach shows to be more accurate and robust than others to discriminate between Parkinson's patients and healthy speakers in the three considered languages.

Book Speech and Language Disorders Associated with Subcortical Pathology

Download or read book Speech and Language Disorders Associated with Subcortical Pathology written by Bruce E. Murdoch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-03-25 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides comprehensive coverage of speech and language disorders arising from pathological processes involving the subcortical structures of the brain. It gives an understanding of these disorders in terms of their neuropathological basis, clinical symptomatology and prognosis. A full discussion of contemporary models and theories of subcortical participation in speech and language processing is given, including discussion of the possible roles of structures such as the basal ganglia, subthalamic nucleus, thalamus and cerebellum. The book covers speech and language disorders associated with a variety of subcortical conditions, ranging from major degenerative conditions such as Parkinsons’ Disease, Huntington’s chorea and dystonia, through to acquired non-degenerative subcortical lesions arising from, for example, cerebrovascular accidents and sterotactic surgically induced lesions. In addition, a full description of the relevant assessment and treatment procedures currently recommended for use for each of the subcortical communication disorders is given.

Book Acquired Speech and Language Disorders

Download or read book Acquired Speech and Language Disorders written by Bruce E. Murdoch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is vital to have knowledge of the neuroanatomical structures and functional neurological mechanisms, which are disrupted in neurogenic speech/language, disordered persons in order to understand the speech/language deficits themselves. This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the neurological basis of both the clinically recognised forms of aphasia and the various motor speech disorders, in both children and adults. It also covers more recently recognised language disorders, such as Parkinsons and related diseases, right hemisphere damage, closed-head injury, dementia, etc. This is a perfect text for practitioners who need to understand the integration of neuroanatomy and functional neurology with the practice of speech-language pathology.

Book Linguistic Biomarkers of Neurological  Cognitive  and Psychiatric Disorders  Verification  Analytical Validation  Clinical Validation  and Machine Learning

Download or read book Linguistic Biomarkers of Neurological Cognitive and Psychiatric Disorders Verification Analytical Validation Clinical Validation and Machine Learning written by Ratree Wayland and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-07 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Degeneration of nerve cells that control cognitive, speech, and language processes leading to linguistic impairments at various levels, from verbal utterances to individual speech sounds, could indicate signs of neurological, cognitive and psychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), dementias, depression, autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, etc. Currently, these disorders are diagnosed using specific clinical diagnostic criteria and neuropsychological examinations. However, speech-based biomarkers could potentially offer many advantages over current clinical standards. In addition to being objective and naturalistic, they can also be collected remotely with minimal instruction and time requirements. Furthermore, Machine Learning algorithms developed to build automated diagnostic models using linguistic features extracted from speech could aid diagnosis of patients with probable diseases from a group of normal population. To ensure that speech-based biomarkers are providing accurate measurement and can serve as effective clinical tools for detecting and monitoring disease, speech features extracted and analyzed must be systematically and rigorously evaluated. Different machine learning architectures trained to classify different types of disordered speech must also be rigorously tested and systematically compared.
