Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Machine Learning, Frequency AnalysisAbstract
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that deteriorates motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and impairments in voluntary control of movement, speech, and facial expressions. Current diagnostic methods, based on clinical evaluations and specialized tests present significant delays, affecting patient survival and quality of life. This study proposes a non-invasive method to detect ALS by characterizing facial markers in the frequency domain through machine learning algorithms.References
