Neural mechanisms of language facilitation in aphasia due to transcranial direct current stimulation. [ 2015 - 2018 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Katie Mcmahon ,  Prof David Copland ,  Prof Greig De Zubicaray

Brief description This project will assess the underlying neural mechanisms by which neurostimulation improves impaired language functions after stroke (aphasia). This will be accomplished by using a novel combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging and simultaneous transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) administered to different brain regions. These studies will provide crucial information necessary to optimise future clinical trials that combine tDCS with language therapy.
