Webinar Description: Our neuroengineering research uses techniques such as audiological assessments, electroencephalography (EEG) and other biosignals, and machine learning to translate fundamental scientific results into real-world solutions, particularly for individuals with communication impairments. I will give an overview of several recent and ongoing projects that bridge research and patient care. Our work seeks to restore and improve communication in all those who struggle to hear or be heard again.
Length: 1 Hour
Target Audience: Speech-language pathologists, otolaryngologists, nurses, occupational therapists and other healthcare providers specializing in dysphagia and head and neck cancer.
Learner Objectives:
1. Understand the basic brain mechanisms that support speech comprehension and production
2. Diagnose how different listeners fail to communicate
3. Treat communication impairments with assistive devices
