Project description
In addition to motor symptoms, auditory perception and communication are known to be disturbed in parkinsonian disorders. Therefore, the proposed research focuses on auditory object formation and social interaction skills as potential biomarkers for early detection, differentiation and monitoring.
Both can be assessed using (electro)physiological noninvasive measurement techniques and conversation analysis.
