New Cues in Low-Frequency of Speech for Automatic Detection of Parkinson's Disease

In this paper, the analysis of low-frequency zone of the speech signals from the five Spanish vowels, by means of the Teager energy operator (TEO) and the modified group delay functions (MGDF) is proposed for the automatic detection of Parkinson’s disease.
