What Can Speech Signals Tell Us About Neurological Disease?
Type: Presentation
Description:
How do we produce speech? Speech occurs as a result of several highly coordinated movements between our lips, tongue, and vocal folds, all of which are directed by our brain. Some kinds of neurological diseases can affect movements in subtle or not-so-subtle ways, and these changes can affect how speech sounds as a result. Sometimes, changes in how a person speaks can be the first indicator of disease. How do we measure these changes? One way is to measure how other people hear and perceive speech differences, but another way is to directly measure the acoustic properties of speech itself!
