Acoustic analysis of sentences complicated for articulation in patients with Parkinson's disease
Kiska, Tomáš ; Smékal, Zdeněk (referee) ; Mekyska, Jiří (advisor)
This work deals with a design of hypokinetic dysarthria analysis system. Hypokinetic dysarthria is a speech motor dysfunction that is present in approx. 90 % of patients with Parkinson’s disease. Next there is described Parkinson's disease and change of the speech signal by this disability. The following describes the symptoms, which are used for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (FCR, VSA, VAI, etc.). The work is mainly focused on parameterization techniques that can be used to diagnose or monitor this disease as well as estimate its progress. A protocol of dysarthric speech acquisition is described in this work too. In combination with acoustic analysis it can be used to estimate a grade of hypokinetic dysarthria in fields of faciokinesis, phonorespiration and phonetics (correlation with 3F test). Regarding the parameterization, new features based on method RASTA. The analysis is based on parametrization sentences complicated for articulation. Experimental dataset consists of 101 PD patients with different disease progress and 53 healthy controls. For classification with feature selection have selected method mRMR.
