Excited to start 2025 with a paper out in @StrokeAHA_ASA (ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…)
We tested the efficacy of candidate predictive models to predict treatment outcomes in bilingual aphasia – critical for personalizing approaches for Spanish-English stroke survivors. 1/3
Happy to share that I recently defended my dissertation! Big thanks to my committee, my INCREDIBLE colleagues, and @AphasiaLab especially – for the many years of guidance, and for creating a rich, rigorous, collaborative intellectual environment at the Center for Brain Recovery.
Indeed, I've been fortunate. On that note, I'm also happy to share that I've started a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Argye Hillis at @HopkinsMedicine, where I'll be working on longitudinal/predictive/multimodal modeling and neuromodulation, among other fun things. Stay tuned!
Today is #BUGivingDay. As a PhD student at @AphasiaLab, I contribute to research that helps people with aphasia reclaim their lives.

March is National Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Awareness Month.

🧠Neurological disorders are complex—and so is the science behind improving diagnosis and treatment!
At the Center for Brain Recovery (@AphasiaLab) I work alongside an incredible team using cutting-edge research to tackle these challenges head-on — including how cerebral small vessel disease shapes outcomes in stroke and dementia.
Your support is vital. Please consider donating: bit.ly/3DDYznR

On March 19, BU President Dr. Gilliam visited the Center for Brain Recovery. We had the opportunity to share with her insights into our Center's core research objectives, methodologies, upcoming initiatives, and accomplishments. #precisionhealth #AI

Great start of the year with the publication of our work led by @manueljmarte @AphasiaLab on the prediction of language treatment response in #bilingual #aphasia using #machinelearning. Check it out! 👇 ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…
Using ML, we achieved strong predictive performance (e.g., F1 ≥ 0.77) by considering language severity, cognitive abilities, and demographics. Most exciting: Untreated language abilities & cognitive performance emerged as key predictors of cross-language generalization. 2/3
This work provides the first data-driven evidence for how multiple factors shape recovery in bilingual aphasia – and may help clinicians better anticipate treatment response. Thanks to amazing colleagues and guidance from @AphasiaLab @UTAustin @ClaudiaNeuropsi and others! 3/3

Check out our new documentary series 📽️: “Living With #Aphasia." Featuring experts and participants from @BU_Tweets Aphasia Resource Center, the series offers insight into a condition affecting more than 2 million Americans. Chapter 1 of 5 launched TODAY⬇️

It was a lot of fun contributing to what I hope is an interpretable (pun somewhat intended) guide to ML in SLP. Much work ahead to refine and integrate these tools into clinical practice, but I believe the benefit for both patients and clinicians will be well worth the effort.
This open access tutorial is a must read for clinicians in all fields interested in understanding key concepts and applications of #ML #AI in communication disorders research. @ASHAJournals @ASHAweb @SIGPerspectives pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/20…

I'm super excited that our consensus paper on the terminology of semantic memory is now published! This was a tremendous collaborative effort of 50+ researchers across the globe: link.springer.com/article/10…

This tutorial outlines cross-linguistic and multicultural considerations that should be addressed in evaluating bilingual adults with aphasia.

Day 2 of #NEW2024! What a glorious start to the morning and a keynote from @SuthanaLab
What might a naturalistic approach to aphasia assessment look like? Read below to learn a bit about my ongoing dissertation research using eye-gaze, emotional reactivity, and neural activity, to lay a foundation for such work. More to come at SfN and ASHA 2024 this year!
Our latest research combines #eyetracking, #emotional measurements and #brainimaging while watching movies.. Pushing the boundaries of #neuroscience to understand #neuroplasticity and #aphasia bit.ly/3AFcQyy

Really amazing work on treatment response in aphasia!
After presenting preliminary results of our research at #gabtagung_2023, #AoA2023 and @BasAphasia conference 2021, I am thrilled to announce that our paper is out now: link.springer.com/article/10…
