Groundbreaking speech assessment study in Peru

TELL is the tool of choice for groundbreaking speech assessment study in Peru. The project entitled «Natural language-based markers for the discrimination of neurodegenerative diseases», funded by CONCYTEC, Peru, seek to validate natural language markers capable of differentiating the most frequent neurodegenerative disorders in older adults in Arequipa. Principal Investigator: Marcio Soto Añari Coinvestigators: José […]

TELL: A novel speech testing app for insights on brain health

By 2050, over 150 million people will be diagnosed neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and frontotemporal dementia. This scenario has spurred a quest for objective, affordable, scalable markers to improve early detection and symptom monitoring. Prominent among these efforts is automated speech and language analysis (ASLA), with several papers demonstrating its potential to […]

Argentine researchers developed an app to detect neurodegenerative diseases (in Spanish)

Long before magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography and other brain images allowed us to glimpse what is going on inside our skull without drilling into it, human beings had another invaluable resource: words. Words can not only «implant» themselves into the brain and transform it, but also tell us how it is functioning. You […]

Language in (almost all) the brain (in Spanish)

El lenguaje en (casi todo) el cerebro

All animals have developed mechanisms which allow them to communicate with their own kind. Birds use songs that attract mates; primates use vocalizations that warn of threats; dolphins use whistles that allow them to identify their conspecifics… These systems present different levels of complexity, but, as far as we can guess, none comes close to […]
