Academy of Aphasia 62nd Annual Meeting

Nara, Japan and Virtual (Hybrid)

Friday, October 18 – Sunday, October 20, 2024

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MAY 20, 2024

The 62nd Annual Meeting of the Academy of Aphasia will be hosted at
Nara Kasugano International Forum IRAKA in Nara (Japan). We encourage
onsite attendance – required for platform presenters – although we
also offer the option to participate online via an interactive hybrid
platform. On Saturday, October 19, we will hold a reception
highlighting traditional Japanese culture (Noh performance) at the
conference venue, followed by a welcome party. The Academy welcomes
submissions of 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.

This year’s keynote speaker will be Dr. Atsushi Iriki, Senior
Researcher of Innovation Design at Riken Research Institute and
Research Supervisor of CREST “Multi-Sensing” projects at Japan Science
and Technology Agency (JST). Dr Iriki investigates evolutionary
precursors to higher cognitive functions based on neurophysiological
analyses of non-human primates, as well as studying cognition through
functional and structural brain imaging. Dr Iriki is the principal
investigator of the project Neurobiological mechanisms of cognitive
niche construction.

Now in its seventh 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) or Heather Dial
(hrdial at central.uh.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 cortical tracking of speech and language
processing, and the speaker will be Dr. Andrea E. Martin of Max Planck
Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen (the Netherlands).
