The development of mathematical methods for analyzing pathological speech signals is one of the best approaches to non-invasive diagnosis of laryngeal dysfunctions in patients with vocal fold disorders. The processing of disordered voice signals is a useful technique that provides a low-cost and time-efficient clinical tool for automatic detection of neurological and physical damages to the vocal folds. The application of these methods can help speech pathologists routinely monitor the functionality of patients' speech production system and provide them with appropriate therapies, medication…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
The development of mathematical methods for analyzing pathological speech signals is one of the best approaches to non-invasive diagnosis of laryngeal dysfunctions in patients with vocal fold disorders. The processing of disordered voice signals is a useful technique that provides a low-cost and time-efficient clinical tool for automatic detection of neurological and physical damages to the vocal folds. The application of these methods can help speech pathologists routinely monitor the functionality of patients' speech production system and provide them with appropriate therapies, medication or treatments. Moreover, these method can help detect the early symptoms and prevent the progress of some severe types of these diseases (e.g. laryngeal cancer) by tracking changes in the acoustical parameters of a patients' voice. In this book, a variety of signal processing methods are proposed, implemented and discussed with relevance to the diagnosis of different types of laryngeal diseases. The discussed methods include classical and novel signal processing approaches to the diagnosis of laryngeal diseases with specific focus on vocal fold disorders in patients with pathological speech.
Autorenporträt
The primary goal of our work is to develop computational methodsfor non-invasive diagnosis of laryngeal diseases. We havecollaborated in a series of research projects in the Departmentof Biomedical Engineering at Amirkabir University of Technology(Iran) with focus on pathological speech signal processing inpatients with vocal fold disorders.
