As a neuroscientist and speech and language therapist my current research aims to understand why only some patients recover from anomia (word finding problems) following aphasic stroke, and for those who don’t, how the treatment of anomia might be more effective. The neuroimaging techniques we use include functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS).

MRC Industrial CASE PhD student interested in developing software to help people with aphasia recover their speech. I am involved in the iTALKbetter project for which I am preparing the speech recognition module and its integration into a mobile platform. My background is in Mathematics, Economics and Computer Games programming.

Davide Nardo

I am a postdoctoral research associate with a background in cognitive and clinical neuroscience. My current research focuses on the effects of neurostimulation (tDCS) and phonemic-cueing-based anomia training on spoken language recovery in chronic aphasic patients, investigated with both behavioural and functional neuroimaging techniques.
