David Ajayi, a first-year doctoral student in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the OB体育官网, presented his research at the 47th Annual Convention of the National Black Association for Speech-Language and Hearing (NBASLH) on April 24 in Long Beach, California. He is mentored by Gerald C. Imaezue, PhD, an assistant professor in the department.
His presentation, titled "Neural Correlates of Recursive Self-Feedback in Aphasia: An fNIRS Study," highlights innovative approaches to advance the understanding of language recovery in individuals with aphasia. This proposed study investigates the neural correlates of recursive self-feedback (RSF), a new technique that enables persons with aphasia (PWA) to improve their language abilities through self-directed feedback loops.
