NEURAL Research Lab attends the 49th Clinical Aphasiology Conference
Brielle Stark and Manaswita Dutta (PhD student) made their way to the 49th Clinical Aphasiology Conference, hosted in lovely Whitefish, Montana. Manaswita was a NIDCD fellow, meaning that she took part in several career development opportunities during the course of the conference. Her abstract (see below), which was for a roundtable discussion, was one of the highest rated abstracts at the conference.
