Academy of Aphasia Research and Training Symposium

项目概要/摘要 每年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，这一国际会议汇集了一个 一个由语言学家、心理学家、神经学家和语言病理学家组成的跨学科小组， 失语症领域的最新研究，包括理论，临床和康复方面， 语言障碍会议的主题范围很广，但几乎总是涵盖语言的所有方面 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，非侵入性和侵入性脑成像，语言恢复， 神经可塑性和康复。在这项建议中，我们的目标是包括两项特别倡议， 在失语症学会年会上 第一项倡议涉及为进入失语症领域的年轻调查人员提供正式的指导计划 research.在这个项目中，来自跨学科背景的学生/博士后研究员， 会议的第一作者与一位导师配对。这位导师将提供有关 研究员的介绍和一般指导研究员的研究和学术生涯。这个程序 目前正在作为会议的一部分进行，并在年会上不断增长， 反馈此外，一个正式的指导会议将允许一个结构化的格式讨论有关的职业生涯 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）， 背景技术和现有技术的方法（例如，fNIRS，图论度量，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， 随后，上传到学院网站/youtube频道，以传播给失语症研究人员 及公众本次研讨会将使与会者了解概念和 在失语症的研究中可以实施的特定科学方法的方法学方面。 鉴于失语症研究的高度跨学科性质，这些研讨会将沟通 失语症研究人员和科学家以及专家之间的交流， 个脑袋 这次会议已经为研究思想的交流提供了一个宝贵的机会，现在将提供 一个培养下一代对失语症的本质感兴趣的科学家的平台， 成人相关语言障碍。

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.
