Novel metrics of speech rhythm for the assessment of emotion [PDF]

Interspeech 2012, 2012
Whereas rhythmic speech analysis is known to bear great potential for the recognition of emotion, it is often omitted or reduced to the speaking rate or segmental durations. An obvious explanation is that the characterisation of speech rhythm is not an easy task itself and there exist many types of rhythmic information. In this paper, we study advanced

Prognostic Implications of Sleep Architecture for Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit With Status Epilepticus

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Status epilepticus (SE) is associated with significant mortality. Sleep architecture may reflect normal brain function. Impaired sleep architecture is associated with poorer outcomes in numerous conditions. Here we investigate the association of sleep architecture in continuous EEG (cEEG) with survival in SE.
