Up to 90% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) suffer from hypokinetic dysathria (HD) which is also manifested in the field of phonation. Clinical signs of HD like monoloudness, monopitch or hoarse voice are usually quantified by…

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by notable motor and non-motor manifestations. The assessment tool known as the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) plays a crucial role in evaluating the…

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common and complex neurodegenerative disorder with 5 stages in the Hoehn and Yahr scaling. Given the heterogeneity of PD, it is challenging to classify early stages 1 and 2 and detect brain function…

Parkinson's disease is the world's fastest-growing neurological disorder. Research to elucidate the mechanisms of Parkinson's disease and automate diagnostics would greatly improve the treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease. Current…

This paper considers a representation learning strategy to model speech signals from patients with Parkinson's disease and cleft lip and palate. In particular, it compares different parametrized representation types such as wideband and…

Speech production is a complex phenomenon, wherein the brain orchestrates a sequence of processes involving thought processing, motor planning, and the execution of articulatory movements. However, this intricate execution of various…

The current body of research on Parkinson's disease (PD) screening, monitoring, and management has evolved along two largely independent trajectories. The first research community focuses on multimodal sensing of PD-related biomarkers using…

The USA Food and Drug Administration has accorded increasing importance to patient-reported problems in clinical and research settings. In this paper, we explore one of the largest online datasets comprising 170,141 open-ended self-reported…

We investigate the potential association between leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) mutations and voice. Sustained phonations ('aaah' sounds) were recorded from 7 individuals with LRRK2-associated Parkinson's disease (PD), 17 participants…

In this study we focus on the diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease (PD) based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. We propose a new approach inspired by the functioning of the brain that uses the dynamics, frequency and temporal content of…

Speech pathology has impacts on communication abilities and quality of life. While deep learning-based models have shown potential in diagnosing these disorders, the use of sensitive data raises critical privacy concerns. Although…

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that impairs movement control, leading to symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and bradykinesia. Many researchers analyzing handwriting data for PD detection typically rely on…

Eye-tracking is an accessible and non-invasive technology that provides information about a subject's motor and cognitive abilities. As such, it has proven to be a valuable resource in the study of neurodegenerative diseases such as…

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder that severely diminishes patients' quality of life. Its global prevalence has increased markedly in recent decades. Current diagnostic workflows are complex and heavily reliant…

In this paper, an interpretable classifier using an interval type-2 fuzzy neural network for detecting patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease (PD) based on analyzing the gait cycle is presented. The proposed method utilizes clinical…

Voice disorders are pathologies significantly affecting patient quality of life. However, non-invasive automated diagnosis of these pathologies is still under-explored, due to both a shortage of pathological voice data, and diversity of the…

Parkinson's disease (PD) is projected to increase substantially due to population aging, making early diagnosis increasingly important, as timely detection may delay progression and reduce long-term complications. Retinal microvasculature…

Parkinsons disease (PD) diagnosis is challenging due to subtle early clinical signs. F-DOPA PET is commonly used for early PD diagnosis. We explore the potential of machine-learning (ML) based EEG features extracted from single-channel EEG…

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide and affects around 1% of the (60+ years old) elderly population in industrial nations. More than 80% of PD patients suffer from motor symptoms, which…

Automatic detection of Parkinson's disease (PD) from speech is a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool, but it raises significant privacy concerns. Speaker anonymization mitigates these risks, but it may suppress the pathological…
