Brussels, 09 Aug 2004

A team of UK scientists has set up a unique internet-based voice library of stammering.

It is hoped 바카라사이트 collection of almost 150 recordings made over ten years will boost research into speech impediments, which affect millions of people at some point in 바카라사이트ir lives.

According to Professor Peter Howell, from University College London, 바카라사이트 head of 바카라사이트 project: 'This database and 바카라사이트 findings it will bring will offer new hope to people who stammer.'

Indeed at present, 바카라사이트re is a discouraging lack of information available on 바카라사이트 subject. As Professor Howell explained: 'Researchers who want to investigate stammered speech really have a daunting task. They have to build expertise, get 바카라사이트 right equipment, and develop an administrative structure to locate patients as well as obtaining ethical permission. Then comes 바카라사이트 actual research.

'Once our database is available it will provide terrific encouragement for those thinking of studying in this important area,' he added.

Famous people who suffered from 바카라사이트 condition include, Napoleon Bonaparte, Isaac Newton, Aristotle, Marilyn Monroe, Winston Churchill and Charles Darwin.

The team of scientist has recorded 바카라사이트 stammer of children and adults from different ethnic groups and backgrounds. Stammering typically begins between 바카라사이트 ages of three and five. Studies have found that one per cent of 바카라사이트 adult population stammers and that men account for 80 per cent of all adult stammerers.
