Training in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Communication

项目摘要/摘要 由于发育不良，听力损失会导致沟通障碍。 自闭症、阅读障碍或发育性语言障碍(DLD)等障碍，或后天获得性语言障碍 失语症或创伤性脑损伤(TBI)等障碍。为了在评估和评估方面取得进展 治疗沟通障碍，下一代沟通科学家不仅需要 了解这些疾病的潜在神经基础，但也要了解如何将实验室的研究成果 去诊所。目前的项目，交流认知神经科学的培训，将招募总共 10名博士后实习生和5名博士后实习生，每人为期两年的实习期，并为他们提供装备 具有在理解这些障碍方面取得进展所需的特定技能和能力。实习生 心理学和言语、语言和听觉科学将在认知方面接受有针对性的指导 神经科学，特别强调神经成像方法，并将学习在实习生中应用这些技能- 主导、指导的研究项目。此外，培训将强调基础研究的应用，以及 受训者不仅将与沟通障碍方面的专家互动，还将与社区互动 利益相关者，包括那些经历失语症、阅读障碍和自闭症等情况的人。其他价值- 增加的活动将包括一个专业发展研讨会，一月份学期的“速成班”，强调 专门技能，以及支持先进方法培训的外部讲习班。我们的导师团队，抽签 来自言语、语言和听力科学，以及三个不同的心理学学位课程(临床， 发展，感知-行动-认知)，在各种成像方法(如 FMRI、fNIRS、TMS/tDCS、EEG/ERP)，并对沟通范围进行了有效的研究 语言障碍(如失语症、听力损失、阅读障碍、发育性语言障碍、自闭症)。这支队伍有一个 对典型和非典型沟通进行有影响力的研究，以及指导富有成效的工作的良好记录 博士后和博士后级别的科学家实习生。这项培训计划将产生一批 准备在传播学研究方面取得重大进展的学者。 好了！

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Disordered communication can come about as a consequence of hearing loss, as a result of developmental disorders such as autism, dyslexia, or developmental language disorder (DLD), or as a function of acquired disorders such as aphasia or traumatic brain injury (TBI). In order to make progress in assessment and treatment of communication disorders, the next generation of communication scientists needs to not only understand the underlying neural bases of these disorders, but also how to bring research from the laboratory to the clinic. The current program, Training in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Communication, will recruit a total of ten predoctoral trainees and five postdoctoral trainees, each serving a two-year traineeship, and equip them with specific skills and competencies that are needed for progress in understanding these disorders. Trainees from Psychology and Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences will receive targeted instruction in cognitive neuroscience, with a special emphasis on neuroimaging methods, and will learn to apply those skills in trainee- led, mentored research projects. Further, training will emphasize the application of basic research, and trainees will interact not only with scientists who are experts in communication disorders, but also community stakeholders, including those that experience conditions such as aphasia, dyslexia, and autism. Other value- added activities will include a professional development seminar, January-term “crash-courses” emphasizing specialized skills, and external workshops to support advanced methods training. Our mentor team, drawn from Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, and three different degree programs in Psychology (Clinical, Developmental, Perception-Action-Cognition), has substantial expertise in a variety of imaging methods (e.g. fMRI, fNIRS, TMS/tDCS, EEG/ERP) and has conducted impactful research on range of communication disorders (e.g. aphasia, hearing loss, dyslexia, developmental language disorder, autism). The team has a strong track record of impactful research on typical and atypical communication, and of mentoring productive scientist trainees at the predoctoral and postdoctoral levels. This training program will produce a cohort of scholars who are poised to make significant progress in the study of communication. !
