Scholarship description
The importance of cognitive control systems in the recovery of language after stroke is well documented. Targeting a person’s ability to engage with, and attend to, a therapy task may be just as important in improving language as the therapy task itself. This project will investigate the influence of executive function neural systems on rehabilitation of language difficulties using a combination of behavioural interventions and/or neuromodulation /neurofeedback protocols. This work will be conducted in the Language Neuroscience Lab at the University of Queensland (https://clinical-research.centre.uq.edu.au/copland-group).
