I’m based at The Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and my main clinical and academic interest is in cognitive rehabilitation, especially in the field of acquired language disorders. I am developing mechanistic accounts of how cognitive disorders can be improved by different types of therapy -mainly behavioural- using functional and structural brain imaging.
My team have developed a range of web-based rehabilitation tools that can be used by therapists and patients with language problems. I will discuss the behavioural and imaging outcomes (sMRI, fMRI and MEG) from three recent randomised controlled trials of app-based therapies for people with aphasia caused by either stroke or dementia.
