Abstract
EEG research in the aphasia population has mainly focused on ERP paradigms with artificial stimuli so far. However, little is known about processing of natural, connected speech in aphasia. Therefore, we investigated neural responses to connected speech in people with aphasia in the chronic phase after stroke, as well as in younger and older adults. In the seminar, I will discuss whether it is possible to measure speech processing via neural tracking in people with aphasia and how it differs from control groups. Could this method present a possible neuromarker for aphasia?
