Acoustic analysis of emotionally affected sentences in patients with Parkinson's disease
 Gavlasová, Radka ; Kováč, Daniel (referee) ; Mekyska, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis focuses on Parkinson's disease and its effect on emotional expression in speech. The aim was to conduct a literature search on acoustic emotional analysis of PD patients and to implement acoustic parameters to distinguish between healthy and diseased individuals. The database used contained recordings of 100 patients with PD and 52 healthy controls for various speech tasks. For this analysis, 7 emotionally coloured sentences and 11 acoustic parameters were selected and implemented in Python. From the statistical analysis, it was found that the most significant parameters include pauses in speech and intensity variability. The XGBoost algorithm with 10-fold stratified cross-validation was used for classification. A total of 10 models were implemented to analyze all tasks together and each task separately. Optimization was performed using randomized search. For the combination of all tasks, the significant parameter was the variability in intensity or speech rate. For the individual speech tasks, variability in intonation and formant areas was highly significant. The best model achieved a 63% success rate (BACC) and 85% sensitivity. The results suggest that emotional prosody affects classification, confirming previous findings and pointing to the need for further investigation in this area.
