Perceptual and acoustic analysis of speech in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1

Speech is a cardinal and important feature of ataxia.

We have put together a comprehensive description of dysarthria in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 using digital markers via acoustic analysis and expert listener ratings. Keep your eye out for longitudinal outcomes to follow.

With colleagues at Radboudumc, University of Melbourne and Redenlab, including Teije van Prooije, Bart van de Warrenburg and Simone Knuijt.

Written and run in conjunction with Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour | Radboud University Medical Center, The Netherlands | The University of Melbourne | Redenlab
