Welcome to the Psycholinguistics, Aphasia, and Neuromodulation Lab in NYU’s Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders, directed by Dr. Adam Buchwald.Our research explores the cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie speech and language production. Research in the lab examines the performance and neurobiology of individuals with acquired speech and language impairment (e.g., aphasia, apraxia of speech, dysgraphia) to gain a deeper understanding of typical neurocognitive processing and impairment subsequent to stroke. In addition, we use neuromodulation — particularly transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) — to learn about the neurocognitive underpinnings of speech and language production and to attempt to foster neurorehabilitation.
