PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The annual Academy of Aphasia meeting is the premier conference for researchers in the field of language processing and aphasia. Since the first meeting in 1963, this international meeting has brought together an interdisciplinary group of linguists, psychologists, neurologists, and speech-language pathologists to discuss the latest research in the field of aphasia, including theoretical, clinical, and rehabilitation aspects of this language disorder. The topics at the conference range widely but almost always cover all aspects of language processing including phonological processing, lexical-semantic processing, syntactic processing, orthographic processing, bilingualism, computational modeling, non-invasive and invasive brain imaging, language recovery, neuroplasticity, and rehabilitation. In this proposal, we aim to include two special initiatives that will take place during the annual academy of aphasia conference. The first initiative involves a formal mentoring program for young investigators entering the field of aphasia research. In this program, selected student/post-doctoral fellows from interdisciplinary backgrounds who are first authors at the conference are paired with a mentor. This mentor will provide specific feedback about the fellow's presentation and general mentorship to the fellow about research and academic careers. This program is currently occurring as part of the conference and has been growing at the annual meeting with very positive feedback. Additionally, a formal mentoring meeting will allow a structured format for discussion about a career in aphasia research. The second initiative will be a three hour seminar (New Frontiers in Aphasia Research) that covers the background and approach of a state of the art methodology (e.g., fNIRS, graph theoretical metric, machine learning approaches) that has an application to the study of aphasia. These workshops will be recorded and, consequently, uploaded to the academy website/youtube channel for dissemination to aphasia researchers and the public. This workshop will allow conference attendees to understand the conceptual and methodological aspect of a particular scientific approach that can be implemented in their study of aphasia. Given the highly interdisciplinary nature of aphasia research, these workshops will bridge the communication between aphasia researchers and scientists and experts who have developed new approaches to study the brain. This meeting already allows a valuable opportunity for cross-pollination of research ideas and will now provide a platform for the training the next generation of scientists interested in pursuing the nature of aphasia and associated language disorders in adults.

项目概要/摘要 一年一度的失语症学会会议是语言领域研究人员的首要会议 加工和失语。自 1963 年第一次会议以来，这次国际会议汇集了 由语言学家、心理学家、神经学家和言语病理学家组成的跨学科小组进行讨论 失语症领域的最新研究，包括理论、临床和康复方面 语言障碍。会议主题广泛但几乎总是涵盖语言的各个方面 处理包括语音处理、词汇语义处理、句法处理、拼字法处理 处理、双语、计算建模、非侵入性和侵入性脑成像、语言恢复、 神经可塑性和康复。在本提案中，我们的目标是纳入两项特别举措 在失语症学会年度会议期间。 第一项举措涉及为进入失语症领域的年轻研究人员提供正式的指导计划 研究。在这个项目中，选择了来自跨学科背景的学生/博士后研究员，他们是 会议的第一作者与导师配对。这位导师将提供有关的具体反馈 研究员对研究员的研究和学术生涯的介绍和一般指导。这个节目 目前作为会议的一部分举行，并在年会上不断发展，取得了非常积极的成果 反馈。此外，正式的指导会议将允许以结构化的形式讨论职业生涯 在失语症研究中。 第二项举措将是一个三小时的研讨会（失语症研究的新前沿），涵盖 最先进方法论的背景和方法（例如，fNIRS、图论度量、机器 学习方法）可应用于失语症的研究。这些研讨会将被记录下来， 因此，上传到学院网站/youtube频道，以便向失语症研究人员传播 和公众。该研讨会将使与会者了解概念和 可以在失语症研究中实施的特定科学方法的方法学方面。 鉴于失语症研究的高度跨学科性质，这些研讨会将架起沟通的桥梁 失语症研究人员与开发出新方法来研究失语症的科学家和专家之间 脑。 这次会议已经为研究思想的交叉授粉提供了宝贵的机会，现在将提供 一个培训下一代对研究失语症本质感兴趣的科学家的平台 成人相关语言障碍。
