Correlating an Ambulatory Voice Measure to Electrodermal Activity in Patients with Vocal Hyperfunction
Open accessAbstract
We investigate the connection between the autonomic nervous system and the voice in patients with vocal hyperfunction and healthy-control groups. We present a methodology and preliminary results of two multi-modal measurement streams that capture this relationship. Subjects were instrumented for daily, ambulatory collection of their voice and wrist-based electrodermal activity. Measures of vocal function (e.g., fundamental frequency) were computed, as well as measures of autonomic function (e.g., skin conductance response). Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated to measure the relationship between vocal and autonomic function over sliding windows throughout each observation day. We found preliminary evidence that patients with a subtype of vocal hyperfunction (non-phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction) exhibit a coupling between the autonomic nervous system and the vocal system. Understanding how the autonomic nervous system interacts with the voice may provide new insights into the etiology/pathophysiology of vocal hyperfunction and improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.

In individuals with non-phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction, Ciccarelli et al. (2019) found significant associations between SCR and F0 SD in daily speech with a 2 min delay.
“In individuals with non-phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction (NPVH), Ciccarelli et al. (2019) measured EDA and analysed SCR in relation to the standard deviation of fundamental frequency (F0 SD) in daily speech, finding significant associations with a 2 min delay [31].”
From Mapping the Neurophysiological Link Between Voice and Autonomic Function: A Scoping Review (2025) · cites this paper as [31]
The Results (Hypothesis Testing Results; page unavailable) report statistically significant EDA–voice correlations in NPVH subjects tending to occur at a two-minute lag, but only in the analysis using a five-minute window. The Discussion cautions that the correlations were small and preliminary, and that the peak disappeared in further tests. The claim omits those conditions and caveats. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
