The NeuroCognitive Imaging Lab (NCIL) is inviting people with #aphasia to participate in a study. Aphasia is a language disorder caused by stroke or other brain injury. It's very challenging to recover from, and requires lots of practice.

The current study is another step towards NCIL's goal of developing effective at-home tools to help people. Each person with aphasia will need a partner to help with participation in this study.

Message from Dr. Newman: I will cover Phillip Alday's 2019 paper, How much baseline correction do we need in ERP research? Extended GLM model can replace baseline correction while lifting its limits, and talk about its relevance to language studies.

Replying to @DalPres
@DalPres smoking on campus is against provincial law. Why is Dal not enforcing this? Student right outside dalplex doors says he doesn’t care, because there’s no punishment
