Perceptual Analysis of Speech Signals from People with Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the nervous central system and it affects the limbs motor control and the communication skills of the patients. The evolution of the disease can get to the point of affecting the intelligibility of the patient’s speech.
