Compared motor speech markers among varying autopsy-confirmed primary progressive aphasia subtypes: Alzheimer's, tau, and TDP-C. Used Praat linguistics program with DDKtor neural network-based software package for automated measurement of voice onset time (VOT) and vowel durations in speech.

Wrote

Praat and Python scripts to extract and analyze timepoints of VOTs, vowel durations, and pauses in speech.
