Teaching position in aphasiology at University of Neuchâtel
Research interest
I’m interested in phonological encoding in word production, and I pursue studies on phonological encoding with psycholingusitic, neurolinguistic and electrical brain mapping techniques (FNS grant).
I’m also interested in conditions for efficacy in aphasia rehabilitation and have run studies on computer-assisted rehabilitation for anomia. At present we are running studies on cortical mechanisms underlying therapy-induced recovery from anomia
