The project funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders focuses on improving reading deficits in subacute stroke patients through fMRI neurofeedback and motor imagery, aiming to develop a neuroscience-based reading intervention and conduct clinical trials.
Description
This project aims to develop a biologically-based intervention using real-time fMRI neurofeedback combined with motor imagery to enhance brain activity in regions associated with reading. The goal is to re-engage impaired neural mechanisms and improve reading outcomes in stroke survivors.
