New paper from Sophie Roberts & colleagues: people who spent more time in education before their stroke performed better on language tasks from an aphasia assessment. Educational background should be considered when interpreting aphasia assessment scores. https://t.co/8vWhGwtNTT
New open access paper by Adam White and other PLORAS collaborators: 'Predicting recovery following stroke: Deep learning, multimodal data and feature selection using explainable AI' https://t.co/0IOwHEKzMr
In celebration of #IWD2024, we asked Rachel Bruce, Deputy Chief Investigator for @PLORASResearch, about her work researching speech and language recovery after stroke, and what advice she would give to women just starting out in the field! 🧠 #WomensHistoryMonth#InspireInclusion
The best advocates for better #aphasia services are people with aphasia themselves with the support of family, friends and professionals. Pls tell all your aphasia community about this conference in Coventry, UK 14&15 April, 2024. Register here:
