Cross-Modal AI Analysis of Facial Expressions, Voice, Speech Content, and Brain MRI Images in Central Nervous System Diseases
Through the global COVID-19 pandemic, the number of patients with mental disorders, including depression, has doubled worldwide. By obtaining and cross-modally analyzing facial expressions, voice, speech content, and brain MRI images from patients with psychiatric and neurological disorders as well as healthy adults, we aim to extract disease-specific data. This will support the development and exploration of non-invasive early diagnostic methods and digital biomarkers in the field of psychiatry.
