Advantages of soft subdural implants for the delivery of electrochemical neuromodulation therapies to the spinal cord

Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Marco Capogrosso, Pavel Musienko, Ivan Rusev Minev, Nikolaus Wenger, Jérôme Gandar, Polina Shkorbatova, Nathan Antoine Greiner

Objective. We recently developed soft neural interfaces enabling the delivery of electrical and chemical stimulation to the spinal cord. These stimulations restored locomotion in animal models of paralysis. Soft interfaces can be placed either below or abo ...

NeuroSpeech: An open-source software for Parkinson's speech analysis

Milos Cernak

A new software for modeling pathological speech signals is presented in this paper. The software is called NeuroSpeech. This software enables the analysis of pathological speech signals considering different speech dimensions: phonation, articulation, pros ...

On the Use of Convolutional Neural Networks for Speech Presentation Attack Detection

Sébastien Marcel

Research in the area of automatic speaker verification (ASV) has advanced enough for the industry to start using ASV systems in practical applications. However, these systems are highly vulnerable to spoofing or presentation attacks (PAs), limiting their w ...

In vivo neurochemical measurements in cerebral tissues using a droplet-based monitoring system

Philippe Renaud, Bernard Schneider, Arnaud Bertsch, Philippe Colin, Aurélien Thomas

Direct collection of extracellular fluid (ECF) plays a central role in the monitoring of neurological disorders. Current approaches using microdialysis catheters are however drastically limited in term of temporal resolution. Here we show a functional in v ...

Perceptual Information Loss due to Impaired Speech Production

Hervé Bourlard, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei

Phonological classes define articulatory-free and articulatory-bound phone attributes. Deep neural network is used to estimate the probability of phonological classes from the speech signal. In theory, a unique combination of phone attributes form a phonem ...

Understanding and Decoding Imagined Speech using Electrocorticographic Recordings in Humans

Stéphanie Martin

Certain brain disorders, resulting from brainstem infarcts, traumatic brain injury, stroke and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, limit verbal communication despite the patient being fully aware. People that cannot communicate due to neurological disorders wou ...

Characterisation of voice quality of Parkinson's disease using differential phonological posterior features

Milos Cernak

Change in voice quality (VQ) is one of the first precursors of Parkinson's disease (PD). Specifically, impacted phonation and articulation causes the patient to have a breathy, husky-semiwhisper and hoarse voice. A goal of this paper is to characterize a V ...

A GIS based approach for analysing geological and operation conditions influence on road tunnels degradation

Federica Sandrone, Vincent Labiouse

Adopting effective maintenance strategies for transportation infrastructures requires good prediction of their long-term behaviour. For planning interventions without affecting the entire network’s capacity, tunnels in particular require a good overview of ...
