The Language Neuroscience Laboratory is located in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at The University of Queensland.
Our mission is to unravel the neurobiology of language and translate that knowledge into better outcomes for people with aphasia.
Research
Our work spans the functional neuroanatomy of language, neural correlates of recovery from aphasia, language mapping, clinical assessment development, and assessment of Indigenous Australian languages. Learn more -->
