Background and objectives: Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder that affects the motor system producing lack of coordination, resting tremor, and rigidity. Impairments in handwriting are among the main symptoms of the disease. Handwriting …
Parkinson’s disease is a neuro-degenerative disorder characterized by different motor symptoms, including several gait impairments. Gait analysis is a suitable tool to support the diagnosis and to monitor the state of the disease. This study proposes …
This paper presents a system for the automatic detection of hypernasal speech signals based on the combination of two different characterization approaches applied to the five Spanish vowels and two selected words. First one is based on classical …
In the last years, there has a great progress in automatic speech recognition. The challenge now it is not only recognize the semantic content in the speech but also the called 'paralinguistic' aspects of the speech, including the emotions, and the …
A new set of features based on non-linear dynamics measures obtained from the wavelet packet transform for the automatic recognition of “fear-type” emotions in speech is proposed. The experiments are carried out using three different databases with a …
Automatic recognition of emotions in speech has attracted the attention of the research community in recent years. Some of the most relevant proposed applications of it are in call-centers. In these scenarios the speech is distorted by compression …
