The proposed research focuses on acoustic studies of motor neuron disorders that yield perturbations on the speech produced depending on the location of the lesion in the peripheral or central nervous system. This investigation is based on clinical evidence of a direct correlation between the location of the neurological lesions and the perturbations observed in the produced speech, which enable the determination of unique acoustic patterns that describe the complaints. The neurological disorders that will be studied include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson disease among other neurological impairments. Diagnostic and a detailed characterization of the acoustic perturbations at very early stages of these disorders are important for rehabilitation, treatment and research.

拟议的研究重点是运动神经元疾病的声学研究，这些疾病会根据外周或中枢神经系统病变的位置对语音产生扰动。这项调查是基于神经病变的位置和所产生的语音中观察到的扰动之间的直接相关性的临床证据，这使得能够确定描述投诉的独特声学模式。将被研究的神经系统疾病包括肌萎缩侧索硬化症，多发性硬化症和帕金森病等神经系统损伤。在这些疾病的早期阶段诊断和详细描述声扰动对于康复、治疗和研究非常重要。
