Vocea ta poate arăta cât de repede îmbătrânești. Semnul care poate trăda vârsta creierului • Newsweek România

Research indicates that speech patterns can reveal insights about brain aging. An AI-based "speech clock" estimates a person's age by analyzing their voice characteristics. The study involved nearly 3,000 Spanish speakers from various Latin American countries, assessing both healthy individuals and those with cognitive impairments. Results showed that a greater disparity between estimated and actual age in speech correlated with cognitive decline and dementia. While promising, the method is not definitive for diagnosing dementia, as various factors can influence speech. Future research aims to expand the study to other languages and track changes over time.
