Description:
In this Microsoft Research video, Benedito Guimarães Aguiar Neto, professor of electrical engineering at the Federal University of Campina Grande, examines disorders in voice. Disorders in voice are common and presently have been increasing due to unhealthy habits and vocal abuse. Furthermore, there are a great range of diseases which cause modification of the speech, for example, which belong to a class of neuro-degenerative diseases. Examine principles and previous studies to specify and model the most significant acoustic characteristic of disordered voices as basis for the development of effective methods on the purpose of discriminating between normal and pathological voices or for predicting perceived voice quality or the severity of voice disorder.
