Meeting Description:

The 61st Annual Meeting of the Academy of Aphasia will be hosted at
Park House, University of Reading, Whiteknights Campus, UK. Saturday’s
opening night reception will take place at the Museum of English Rural
Life, which explores the history of the English countryside and its
people. The Academy welcomes submissions of original experimental,
clinical, theoretical, and historical research from any field that
contributes to the study of aphasia, including Speech-Language
Pathology, Psychology, Neurology, Neuroscience, Linguistics, History,
and Computational Modeling. We encourage onsite attendance—required
for platform presenters—although we also offer the option to
participate online via an interactive hybrid platform.

Our keynote speaker is Prof. Sophie Scott of the University College
London (UCL). Prof. Scott is Director of the Institute for Cognitive
Neuroscience (ICN) and Head of the Speech Communications Group at the
UCL. Her research interests span several different areas, including
the study of the neural basis of vocal communication and production to
the mechanisms and streams for auditory processing, hemispheric
asymmetries, and the interaction of speech processing with attention
and working memory. Currently, she investigates the expression of
emotion in the voice, particularly in laughter processing. She also
studies individual differences and plasticity in speech perception as
fundamental factors for people with cochlear implants and profiles of
recovery in aphasia. At UCL, Prof. Scott gives classes on these
topics, and she also runs a module for master’s students on
communication skills for cognitive neuroscience.

Now in its sixth year, the NIDCD-funded Academy of Aphasia conference
grant (R13 DC017375) will sponsor selected student fellows to attend
and present their work at the conference. Fellows will also receive
focused mentoring and training from seasoned faculty mentors at the
meeting. Both U.S. and international students are eligible to apply;
please contact Swathi Kiran (kirans at bu.edu) with inquiries. The grant
also sponsors a state-of-the-art New Frontiers in Aphasia Research
seminar. This year's topic will focus on stroke and vascular cognitive
impairment, and the speaker will be Dr. Sudha Seshadri of the
University of Texas, Health Science Center at San Antonio. Dr.
Seshadri is the founding Director of the Glenn Biggs Institute for
Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases. Her scientific research
focuses on neuroimaging, genetic, and epidemiological factors
associated with brain aging, stroke, dementia, and vascular cognitive
impairment. Since 1998, Dr. Seshadri has been a senior investigator of
the Framingham Heart study. She has been continuously funded by the
National Institutes of Health since 2009, and currently serves as the
principal investigator on eight NIH-funded grants and participates in
twelve additional grants. Please visit the mentoring program website
for the fellowship submission guidelines.
