Was really happy to share the work on my great Master’s students John Kinley and Kyle Kelleher on cognitive augmentations to BA after stroke. Different augmentations have different mood and activity outcomes in BA! #NRSIG2024

Super proud of Ghizlane Slaoui presenting her work on understanding perspectives of long-term executive dysfunction in stroke survivors. Executive dysfunction is not only hidden from others, but can be hidden from stroke survivors too #NRSIG2024
