Key Personnel: Katlyn Nickles, PhD
Location: SLHS Room 332
Research Focus: The Language and Neuroimaging Research Laboratory directed by Dr. Aneta Kielar is dedicated to the study of neural systems that support language processing and related cognitive functions. We explore how the brain changes during normal aging and when individuals experience aphasia from stroke or progressive disorders. We study these topics by integrating measures of cognitive functions with structural and functional neuroimaging techniques. Our current work focuses on the development of treatment for aphasia by combining speech-language therapy with noninvasive brain stimulation techniques. Our aim is to improve understanding of the neurobiology of language and hope that this knowledge helps people affected by aphasia live happier and healthier lives.
