Association Between Acoustic Features and Neuropsychological Test Performance in the Framingham Heart Study: Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Human voice has increasingly been recognized as an effective indicator for the detection of cognitive disorders. However, the association of acoustic features with specific cognitive functions and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has yet to be evaluated in a large community-based population.
