Academy of Aphasia Research and Training Symposium

项目摘要/摘要 一年一度的失语症学会会议是语言领域研究人员的首要会议 加工和失语症。自1963年第一次会议以来，这次国际会议汇聚了一批 由语言学家、心理学家、神经学家和言语语言病理学家组成的跨学科小组讨论 失语症领域的最新研究，包括失语的理论、临床和康复方面 语言障碍。会议的主题广泛，但几乎总是涵盖语言的方方面面 加工包括语音加工、词汇语义加工、句法加工、正字法加工 处理，双语，计算建模，无创和有创脑成像，语言恢复， 神经可塑性和康复。在这项提案中，我们的目标是包括将发生的两项特别倡议 在一年一度的失语症学会会议上。 第一项倡议涉及为进入失语症领域的年轻研究人员提供正式指导计划 研究。在这个项目中，选定的学生/博士后研究员来自跨学科背景，他们是 会议上的第一批作者由一位导师配对。该导师将提供有关以下方面的具体反馈 院士对院士关于研究和学术生涯的介绍和一般指导。本节目 目前正在作为会议的一部分进行，并在年度会议上取得了非常积极的进展 反馈。此外，正式的辅导会议将允许有组织的形式来讨论职业 在失语症研究中。 第二项活动将是一个三小时的研讨会(失语症研究的新前沿)，涵盖 技术水平方法的背景和方法(例如，fNIR、图形理论度量、机器 学习方法)，这对失语症的研究具有应用价值。这些研讨会将被记录下来， 因此，上传到学院网站/YouTube频道，分发给失语症研究人员 以及公众。本研讨会将使与会者了解概念和 一种特定的科学方法的方法学方面，可以在他们的失语症研究中实施。 鉴于失语症研究的高度跨学科性质，这些研讨会将成为沟通的桥梁 失语症研究人员与科学家和专家之间的合作，他们开发了新的方法来研究失语症 大脑。 这次会议已经为研究想法的交叉授粉提供了宝贵的机会，现在将提供 为培养对研究失语症本质感兴趣的下一代科学家和 成人的相关语言障碍。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The annual Academy of Aphasia meeting is the premier conference for researchers in the field of language processing and aphasia. Since the first meeting in 1963, this international meeting has brought together an interdisciplinary group of linguists, psychologists, neurologists, and speech-language pathologists to discuss the latest research in the field of aphasia, including theoretical, clinical, and rehabilitation aspects of this language disorder. The topics at the conference range widely but almost always cover all aspects of language processing including phonological processing, lexical-semantic processing, syntactic processing, orthographic processing, bilingualism, computational modeling, non-invasive and invasive brain imaging, language recovery, neuroplasticity, and rehabilitation. In this proposal, we aim to include two special initiatives that will take place during the annual academy of aphasia conference. The first initiative involves a formal mentoring program for young investigators entering the field of aphasia research. In this program, selected student/post-doctoral fellows from interdisciplinary backgrounds who are first authors at the conference are paired with a mentor. This mentor will provide specific feedback about the fellow's presentation and general mentorship to the fellow about research and academic careers. This program is currently occurring as part of the conference and has been growing at the annual meeting with very positive feedback. Additionally, a formal mentoring meeting will allow a structured format for discussion about a career in aphasia research. The second initiative will be a three hour seminar (New Frontiers in Aphasia Research) that covers the background and approach of a state of the art methodology (e.g., fNIRS, graph theoretical metric, machine learning approaches) that has an application to the study of aphasia. These workshops will be recorded and, consequently, uploaded to the academy website/youtube channel for dissemination to aphasia researchers and the public. This workshop will allow conference attendees to understand the conceptual and methodological aspect of a particular scientific approach that can be implemented in their study of aphasia. Given the highly interdisciplinary nature of aphasia research, these workshops will bridge the communication between aphasia researchers and scientists and experts who have developed new approaches to study the brain. This meeting already allows a valuable opportunity for cross-pollination of research ideas and will now provide a platform for the training the next generation of scientists interested in pursuing the nature of aphasia and associated language disorders in adults.
