Stimulating Conversations: Employing Noninvasive Brain Stimulation
Technologies to Characterize and Enhance Language Processing in Persons with
Aphasia

Roy Hamilton MD, MS, FAAN, FANA
University of Pennsylvania
Aphasia is the most common focal deficit of cognition associated with stroke,
and language deficits are also common in patients with neurodegenerative
disorders of cognition. While behavioral speech and language interventions
provide benefit, directly targeted, neurally-focused interventions for aphasia
remain lacking. In this presentation, Dr. Hamilton will give an overview of
over a decade of work done by members of his laboratory and by others which
employ noninvasive neuromodulation techniques like transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), both to
characterize the language system and to enhance the potential for recovery in
persons with aphasia due to either stroke or neurodegenerative disorders. Dr.
Hamilton will also identify current gaps in the field of neuromodulation as it
pertains to aphasia, and he will suggest future steps to advance
neuromodulation in language research and to move noninvasive brain stimulation
technologies toward widespread clinical use.
