Acquired neurogenic communication disorders, such as aphasia, are global disease burdens
that lead to long-term disabilities, affecting millions around the globe and across
different language cultures. There is a need to address critical barriers to communication
healthcare for aphasia, such as the lack of access to in-person clinicians and linguistic
barriers to treatment. Dr. Imaezue鈥檚 overarching research goal is to address these
needs by developing novel procedures for self-directed treatment that circumvent linguistic
barriers and promote access to communication healthcare for survivors with aphasia
and related disorders. Among other methods, Dr. Imaezue employs mobile health and
related procedures to address the role of automated, personalized techniques in improving
communicative outcomes for survivors with aphasia and related disorders within real-world
contexts. Dr. Imaezue directs the Brain and Aphasia Research Lab, where he works with
a team of talented student scientists and collaborators within and outside 欧美三级片 on
multiple projects designed to attain this overall goal.
