The relationship between acoustic indices of speech motor control variability and other measures of speech performance in dysarthria

, 2012
Previous studies suggested that variability indices based on information extracted from the acoustic signal are potentially useful in assessing dysarthric speech.

Combining phonological and acoustic ASR-free features for pathological speech intelligibility assessment [PDF]

, 2011
Intelligibility is widely used to measure the severity of articulatory problems in pathological speech. Recently, a number of automatic intelligibility assessment tools have been developed. Most of them use automatic speech recognizers (ASR) to compare

Voice and Speech in Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Background Motor speech disorders are early, common, and functionally limiting features of atypical parkinsonian disorders (APDs) such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal syndrome (CBS), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). These impairments are underrecognized and undertreated in neurology clinics.

Using Body-Conducted Acoustic Sensors for Human-Robot Communication in Noisy Environments

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013
In this study, the use of alternative acoustic sensors in human-robot communication is investigated. In particular, a Non-Audible Murmur (NAM) microphone was applied in tele-operating the Geminoid HI-1 robot in noisy environments.

Using neighbourhood density and selective SNR boosting to increase the intelligibility of synthetic speech in noise

, 2013
Motivated by the fact that words are not equally confusable, we explore the idea of using word-level intelligibility predictions to selectively boost the harder-to-understand words in a sentence, aiming to improve overall intelligibility in the presence ...

Speech and Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease, Essential Tremor, and Dystonia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep brain stimulation (DBS) effectively treats motor symptoms in movement disorders but often compromises speech through incompletely defined mechanisms. We conducted a PROSPERO‐registered systematic review and meta‐analysis of publications through August 2024 (CRD42024527738).

Synthetic Speech References for Automatic Pathological Speech Intelligibility Assessment

, 2020
Automatic pathological speech intelligibility measures are crucial to assist the clinical diagnosis and treatment of speech disorders. The recently proposed pathological short-time objective intelligibility (P-ESTOI) measure was shown to be very ...

Voice and Speech in Deep Brain Stimulation in Dystonia: A Retrospective Study, Systematic Review, and Meta‐Analysis

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Relatively little is known about voice and speech abnormalities and their changes after deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with dystonia. Objective The aim was to determine the incidence of speech abnormalities, including laryngeal dystonia, among patients with dystonia receiving DBS and to characterize their response to this ...
