The respiratory system is an integral part of human speech production. As a consequence, there is a close relation between respiration and speech signal, and the produced speech signal carries breathing pattern related information. Speech can also be gener ...
Respiration is an essential and primary mechanism for speech production. We first inhale and then produce speech while exhaling. When we run out of breath, we stop speaking and inhale. Though this process is involuntary, speech production involves a system ...
To assist the clinical diagnosis and treatment of speech dysarthria, automatic dysarthric speech detection techniques providing reliable and cost-effective assessment are indispensable. Based on clinical evidence on spectro-temporal distortions associated ...
Neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury (SCI) massively reduce independence and quality of life. Most often, the majority of the nervous system is still fully or partially spared, but dysfunctional due to aberrant or absent descending input from ...
Matching of a test signal to a reference word hypothesis forms the core of many speech processing problems, including objective speech intelligibility assessment. This paper first shows that the comparison of two speech signals can be formulated as matchin ...
Parkinson's disease produces several motor symptoms, including different speech impairments that are known as hypokinetic dysarthria. Symptoms associated to dysarthria affect different dimensions of speech such as phonation, articulation, prosody, and inte ...
In this thesis, we contribute to the field of rehabilitation robotics by designing haptic-enabledtangible robot-based activities and exploring their added value for therapy and assistance.The research specifically focuses on the design and development of g ...
Modern machine learning tools have shown promise in detecting symptoms of neurological disorders. However, current approaches typically train a unique classifier for each subject. This subject-specific training scheme requires long labeled recordings from ...

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) disrupts the communication between the brain and spinal circuits below the lesion, leading to a plethora of neurological impairments, including the loss of motor function. At present, the only medical practices to enhance recovery ...
