2023名校版高考英语阅读理解精 读含答案Voices offer lots of information. It turns out that they can even help diagnose an illness. The National Institutes of Health is funding a massive research project to collect voice data and develop an AI that could diagnose people based on their speech.Everything from your vocal cord vibrations（声带振动）to breathing patterns when you speak offers potential information about your health, says Dr. Yael Bensoussan, a leader on the study. z,We asked experts: If you close your eyes when a patient comes in just by listening to their voice, can you have an idea of the diagnosis they have?” Bensoussan says. "And that s where we got all our information/, Someone who speaks low and slowly might have Parkinson' s disease. Speaking unclearly is a sign of a stroke. Scientists could even diagnose depression or cancer.The team will start by collecting the voices of people. "We were really lacking large what we call open source databases/7 Bensoussan says. /zEvery institution has their own database.

The human body is designed to maintain balance as much as possible. In a restricted calorie environment, the body adapts to using fewer calories each day to function.
