Abstract: | Rater-determined data on depression, anxiety and mania on some twenty subjects, receiving varying medication in each case, were compared with Hayre's voice-based psychological stress parameter, , determined solely from the voices of the subjects. Each subject was asked by raters to read a given paragraph, from which one word was taken for analysis. The analysis employed spectrum analysis and further processing in order to obtain the raw data for calculating Hayre's voice-based psychological stress parameter, . A comparison of the two results shows that manic measures were not significantly discernible by raters whereas a ratio of depression (D) and anxiety measure (A) seems to be very definitely correlated with Hayre's voice-based parameter, . Further work is continuing since it seems to show considerable promise in quantifying psychological measures obtained solely from the voice of the subject. |
