Dysarthria is a very common motor speech symptom in Parkinson's disease impairing normal communications of patients. Detection of dysarthria could assist clinical diagnosis and intervention of Parkinson's disease, provide monitoring approach for trea...
Studies have shown deep neural networks (DNN) as a potential tool for classifying dysarthric speakers and controls. However, representations used to train DNNs are largely not clinically interpretable, which limits clinical value. Here, a model with ...
BACKGROUND: Technology to restore the ability to communicate in paralyzed persons who cannot speak has the potential to improve autonomy and quality of life. An approach that decodes words and sentences directly from the cerebral cortical activity of...
