Postural correlates of vocal effort are rarely described in the literature, while they extensively dealt with speech therapy.This study aims at determining whether body movement is a side effect or an integral part communication behavior. The answer to this question mainly based on correlations between posture and phonation.Twenty healthy subjects participated study. They had communicate listener under 3 conditions requiring different levels effort.The parameters increased confirmed that...
We used a forced choice visual world paradigm to examine when listeners integrate case processing Korean, in native speakers and two groups of adult L2 learners. The learners varied as concerns the typological proximity between their L1 (French or Kazakh) Korean. Processing was compared for canonical (SOV) scrambled (OSV) word order. Nominal marking either accusative (NOM-ACC) dative (NOM-DAT). Native Koreans showed anticipatory looks correct image, regardless order case. Neither group image...
Improvement of gait disorders following pedunculopontine nucleus area stimulation in patients with Parkinson's disease has previously been reported and led us to propose this surgical treatment who progressively developed severe freezing despite optimal dopaminergic drug subthalamic stimulation. The outcome our prospective study on the first six was somewhat mitigated, as falls related were improved by low frequency electrical some, but not all, patients. Here, we report speech data...
Cognitive impairment (CI) affects 40-65% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). CI can have a negative impact on patient's everyday activities, such as engaging in conversations. Speech production planning ability is crucial for successful verbal interactions and thus preserving social occupational skills. This study investigates the effect cognitive-linguistic demand speech MS, reflected prosody. A secondary aim to explore clinical potential prosodic features prediction an individual's...
In this cross-language study, six Italian and French voice experts evaluated perceptually the speech of 27 40 patients with dysphonia to determine if there were differences based on native language. specialists agreed substantially in their evaluations overall grade moderately concerning roughness breathiness. No statistically significant effects found related language speakers exception breathiness, a finding that was interpreted as being due different pathologies patient groups. It...
Since perception tests are highly time-consuming, there is a need to automate as many operations possible, such stimulus generation, procedure control, testing, and data analysis. The computer-driven system we presenting here meets these objectives. To achieve large flexibility, the controlled by scripts. system's core software resembles that of lexical-syntactic analyzer, which reads interprets script files sent it. execution sequence (trial) modified in accordance with commands received....
Concerned with pathological voice assessment, this paper aims at characterizing dysphonia in the frequency domain for a better understanding of relating phenomena while most studies have focused only on improving classification systems diagnosis help purposes.In context, GMM-based automatic system is applied different ranges order to investigate which ones are relevant characterization.Experiment results demonstrate that low frequencies [0-3000]Hz more discrimination compared higher frequencies.
A study is presented analyzing tremor in the voice of speakers that were diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The examined sounds are sustained /a/s, originating from a large dysarthric speech corpus. Six measures vocal extracted these vowels by applying self-developed algorithm based on autocorrelation contours and implemented as script an open-source analysis program. Univariate analyses covariance reveal significantly raised magnitudes (tremor intensity indices power indices) PD off...
Purpose The current intelligibility tests performed on speakers with atypical speech production are limited by the ability of listeners to restore distorted sequences. This results in a measure that is overvalued when compared real articulatory performance. In this article, we present new test order neutralize commonly encountered bias traditional perception-based assessments. We construction acoustic–phonetic decoding task and its first during perceptual judgment result comparison global...
In disordered speech context, and despite its well-known subjectivity, perceptual evaluation is still the most commonly used method in clinical practice to evaluate intelligibility level of patients' productions.However, thanks increasing computing power, automatic processing systems have witnessed a democratization terms users application areas including medical practice.In this paper, we an approach for prediction cancer based on representation acoustics total variability subspace i-vector...
The aim of this study was to analyze the effects botulinum toxin (BT) injection on airflow stability, by measuring mean phonatory oral and its coefficient variation (CV), in subjects with adductor spasmodic dysphonia (SD).Twenty-four SD (aged 31-78 years) 23 controls 29-63 were evaluated for CV during sustained phonation. Fifteen also within 3 weeks after BT injection.BT increased (P = 0.0130) but neither preinjection nor postinjection values differed significantly from those controls....
This paper addresses voice disorder assessment. It proposes an original back-and-forth methodology involving automatic classification system as well knowledge of the human experts (machine learning experts, phoneticians, and pathologists). The goal this is to bring a better understanding acoustic phenomena related dysphonia. was validated on dysphonic corpus (80 female voices), rated according GRBAS perceptual scale by expert jury. Firstly, focused frequency domain, showed interest 0–3000 Hz...
Abstract This paper addresses the question of how speakers adapt their gestures according to interlocutor’s proficiency level in language interaction especially specific context foreign teaching. We know that make changes speech when addressing a non-native speaker, called Foreigner Talk ( Ferguson, 1975 ) more comprehensible. However, whether and are also modified along with has hardly been addressed literature. In this study, we examined gesture future teachers French word explanation task...
The EARLYSTIM trial demonstrated for Parkinson's disease patients with early motor complications that deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) and best medical treatment (BMT) was superior to BMT alone.This prospective, ancillary study on compared changes in blinded speech intelligibility assessment between STN-DBS over 2 years, secondary outcomes included non-speech oral movements (maximum phonation time [MPT], diadochokinesis), physician- patient-reported...
