Research objectives:
– To harmonize research protocols and provide the methodology for speech assessment at the country level.
– To describe severity and patterns of speech disorder across various neurodegenerative disorders and relate them to other clinical markers of neurodegeneration.
– To investigate distinct motor speech markers across disease type, dysarthria type, and dysarthria severity for potential differential diagnosis.
– To explore the sensitivity of linguistic markers to detect cognitive deterioration due to neurodegeneration.
– To evaluate the feasibility of remote speech screening for the detection of neurodegeneration.
– To evaluate the effect of normal ageing on speech in large sample of healthy subjects.
– To explore effects of therapy on speech performance in neurodegeneration.
