Brain computer simulations can predict language recovery in stroke survivors ANI | Updated: Jun 05, 2021 22:01 IST Washington [US], June 5 (ANI): A team of researchers at the Boston University have been working to better understand how language and speech is processed in the brain, and how to best rehabilitate people who have lost their ability to communicate due to brain damage caused by a stroke, trauma, or another type of brain injury. This type of language loss is called aphasia, a long-term neurological disorder caused by damage to the part of the brain responsible for language production and processing that impacts over a million people in the US.
