Research on Language and Aphasia. Mostly we use paradigms, which are established or are developed in neurotypical participants and test people with an acquired brain lesion to find out (i) about behavioral differences / deficits; (ii) about the bottleneck areas for the respective function, and ideally (iii) how training /rehabilitation schemes can be developed on this basis.
Available PhD projects
