Exploring Infant Cry - by Carlos Alberto Reyes Garcia & Mario Mandujano-Valdez & Maria Antonia Ruiz Diaz & Sergio Daniel Cano Ortiz (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Exploring Infant Cry: Medical and Technological Analysis and Signal Processing Perspectives is a comprehensive exploration of the latest medical and technical advancements in the study of infant crying. This book presents a unified approach that integrates medical insights and computational techniques for analyzing and classifying cries, aiming to enhance diagnostic capabilities. Authored by experts, it emphasizes the growing significance of cry analysis as a powerful, non-intrusive tool for identifying pathologies from the earliest stages. As the field expands, researchers and clinicians are offered innovative perspectives and practical solutions for interpreting and understanding why babies cry.

The book also explores the connection between infant cries and language development, as well as the communicative importance of these signals in human interaction. Addressing gaps in routine neonatal application, the book compiles recent advancements in signal processing, Artificial Intelligence, and soft computing for cry classification. This makes it a valuable resource for biomedical researchers, doctors, and clinicians seeking to deepen their knowledge of the acoustic, neurophysiological, and linguistic aspects of infant crying.
