The Cognitive Recovery Lab is led by Dr. Peter Turkeltaub, MD, PhD, a cognitive neurologist and neuroscientist. The mission of the lab is to improve the lives of people with cognitive, language, and reading difficulties. We look at how the brain performs cognitive, language, and reading functions, how these systems change in the face of injury, and how we can improve recovery.

Cognitive Recovery Lab (In Person)
We are recruiting stroke survivors for our ReadMap study. The goal of this study is to understand how language and reading abilities can be impacted by stroke. Our study includes a variety of reading, language, and cognitive tests, as well as an optional MRI. In the future through ReadMap, we hope to improve the diagnosis and treatment of language and reading problems after stroke.

Clinical Trials
Clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of new treatments. Also known as intervention studies, clinical trials test whether a new type of treatment, compared to a control or “usual” treatment, may be beneficial for people with aphasia.
A full list of registered clinical trials may be found on clinicaltrials.gov. You can filter your search by several areas including: condition, location, treatment, and certain eligibility criteria (click on “More Filters”).
Observational Studies
Observational studies, including neuroimaging studies and behavioral studies about language and other parts of cognition
Observational studies examine how people with aphasia present and how aphasia can change over time. Observational studies can help lead to the development of new therapies and provide a deeper understanding of what aphasia can “look like.”
Qualitative Studies
Qualitative studies, including interviews and focus groups
Qualitative studies can provide deeper insight into what it means to live with aphasia.
