Research Grant(Supplement) Understand Me for Life: Using Noise-augmented Automatic Speech Recognition to Improve Intelligibility in Parkinson’s Disease
Study Rationale: Most people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) develop voice and speech problems at some point during the course of the disease. Such problems, collectively known as the motor speech...
-
Research Grant, 2023Leveraging Gene Expression Data to Redefine Parkinson’s Disease and the Pathways Driving Disease in Different Individuals
Study Rationale: People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) share some common problems, such as stiffness, slowness of movement and tremors. However, these symptoms vary in severity, and individuals often...
