Doctors can use a person's descriptions of a picnic scene to measure their language skills after a stroke
Language impairment, known as aphasia, is common for people who have experienced strokes
Language(s) lover, music amateur, PhD candidate in biomedical sciences, focus on neurology and speech pathology, Labo Renato at Université de Montréal. I’m working a project that tries to find the links between the damage of white matter structures and the capacities for recovery in post-stroke survivors with aphasia. I’m interested in almost everything that has to do with communication, its means and its challenges, from the more computational level, through the neuron pathway, until the big differences (and similarities) between languages and cultures. Based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
