Summer 2020 We recently have had two papers published by our lab, first-authored by our alumna, Dr. Arianna LaCroix. They are the fruits of her dissertation labors, providing valuable insights into the attention deficits stroke survivors with aphasia may have, and how attention and other cognitive abilities may be related to their speech comprehension abilities: LaCroix et al. (2020) in Brain and Language: LaCroix et al. (2020) in Aphasiology: (epub ahead of print coming soon!) Great job Dr. LaCroix!! Spring 2020 Corianne was awarded tenure! She is officially an Associate Professor, a Sun Devil for life, and has proven her middle school teachers wrong who thought she'd never "do well in school"! Spring 2019 Two of our doctoral students graduated at the end of the term: Drs. Megan Fitzhugh (right) and Arianna LaCroix (left)!  Two recent papers by our doctoral student, Megan Fitzhugh, were accepted for publication! One paper explored the neural correlates of audio-visual integration and cognitive control using an audio-visual Stroop task and was accepted in PLOSone. Another paper with our collaborator Dr. Leslie Baxter of the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ investigated the recruitment of domain-general brain networks during reading comprehension in older adults. This paper was accepted in the Journal for the International Neuropsychological Society. Fall 2018 Dr. Rogalsky was interviewed by Arizona's NPR channel, KJZZ, about auditory perception and illusions. Give it a listen here! Arianna LaCroix received a predoctoral fellowship for $50,000 from the American Heart Association to study the influence of prosody on language comprehension in individuals post-stroke! Read about her study here. Megan Fitzhugh presented a poster at the 10th Society for the Neurobiology of Language conference in Quebec City, Canada. Her poster was titled "How does functional connectivity between domain-general and language networks relate to sentence comprehension? A resting-state fMRI study in older adults."  A recent study investigating the brain regions involved in ASL (American Sign Language) sentence comprehension compared to English sentences was accepted for publication in Frontiers in Psychology! This study stemmed from both the Honors thesis and ARES project of two stellar undergraduates--Lisa Johnson and Soren Mickelsen. May. 2017 Julia Cai successfully defended her Master's thesis titled, "The neurobiology of audiovisual integration: A voxel-based lesion symptom mapping study." Julia graduated with a Master's of Science in Communication Disorders and will be starting her clinical fellowship year this summer. Chloe Houlihan successfully defended her Honor's thesis titled, "A
functional and structural MRI investigation of the neural signatures of
dyslexia in adults." Chloe graduated with a Bachelor of Science in
Engineering in Biomedical Engineering with Honors
from Barrett, the Honors College. She will have one more year to finish
her Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering. Nicole
Blumenstein successfully defended her Honor's thesis titled, "The effect
of scale and familiarity on the perception of music dissonance." Nicole
graduated with a Bachelor of Music Performance with a Voice
Concentration with Honors from Barrett, the Honors College. Nicole will
be attending University of Illinois College of Medicine in the fall of 2017.Congratulations, ladies! We are extremely proud of your accomplishments! Dec. 2016
