The Language Neuroscience Podcast

In this episode, I talk with David Moses and Jessie Liu about their recent NEJM paper ‘Neuroprosthesis for decoding speech in a paralyzed person with anarthria’, in which they decoded intended utterances from the brain of an individual with anarthria using an electrode array implanted of sensorimotor cortex and machine learning. Moses DA, Metzger SL, Liu JR, et al. Neuroprosthesis for decoding spe...

In this episode, I talk with Roy Hamilton, Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania, about his work using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS), and in particular the application of these neuromodulatory techniques to enhance recovery from aphasia. Laboratory for Cognition and Neural Stimulation Penn Brain Science, Tran...

Stephen talks with Pascale Tremblay, Professor of Rehabilitation Sciences at Université Laval, about how she co-founded the Society for the Neurobiology of Language, her paper "Broca and Wernicke are dead, or moving past the classic model of language neurobiology", and her work on the language tracts of the brain. https://langneurosci.org/podcast/ep10
