Vocal markers from sustained phonation in Huntington's Disease
Disease-modifying treatments are currently assessed in neurodegenerative diseases. Huntington's Disease represents a unique opportunity to design automatic sub-clinical markers, even in premanifest gene carriers. We investigated phonatory impairments as potential clinical markers and propose them for both diagnosis and gene carriers follow-up. We used two sets of features: Phonatory features and Modulation Power Spectrum Features. We found that phonation is not sufficient for the identification of sub-clinical disorders of premanifest gene carriers. According to our regression results, Phonatory features are suitable for the predictions of clinical performance in Huntington's Disease.

AI-Driven Acoustic Voice Biomarker-Based Hierarchical Classification of Benign Laryngeal Voice Disorders from Sustained Vowels
Benign laryngeal voice disorders affect nearly one in five individuals and often manifest as dysphonia, while also serving as non-invasive indicators of broader physiological dysfunction. We introduce a clinically inspir…
Huntington Disease Automatic Speech Recognition with Biomarker Supervision
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) for pathological speech remains underexplored, especially for Huntington's disease (HD), where irregular timing, unstable phonation, and articulatory distortion challenge current models…
Speech RecognitionDoes Language Matter for Early Detection of Parkinson's Disease from Speech?
Using speech samples as a biomarker is a promising avenue for detecting and monitoring the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD), but there is considerable disagreement in the literature about how best to collect and a…
New Spanish speech corpus database for the analysis of people suffering from Parkinson's disease
ParkinsonÂ’s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer{'}s, affecting about 1{\%} of the people older than 65 and about 89{\%} of the people with PD develop different speech dis…
Articulatory Coordination for Speech Motor Tracking in Huntington Disease
Huntington Disease (HD) is a progressive disorder which often manifests in motor impairment. Motor severity (captured via motor score) is a key component in assessing overall HD severity. However, motor score evaluation …
