Study Group

Welcome to Our Study Group!

We are a team of people who care about brain health, recovery, and communication.
Our study group brings together researchers, students, and community members to learn and share ideas.

What We Do

We study how the brain helps us think, talk, and connect with others, especially after things like stroke, brain injury, or aging changes.
Our goal is to make treatments and tools that are easy to use, helpful, and fair for everyone.

How You Can Join

There are a few ways to be part of our group:

  • Review summaries from our Community Advisory Board (CAB): Share your ideas and help shape our research.
  • Take part in a study: Learn what we’re working on and decide if you’d like to volunteer.
  • Stay up to date: Read about what’s new in our projects and what we’re learning.

Why It Matters

Your voice helps make our work stronger.
Together, we can create better ways to support brain health and communication for all people — in hospitals, clinics, and everyday life.

Community Advisory Board (CAB)

A Community Advisory Board (CAB) is a group of people from the community who help guide our research.
They might be people with brain injuries, family members, caregivers, or professionals who work with them.

The CAB meets a few times a year to:

  • Share ideas and feedback about our studies
  • Help make sure research questions are important and easy to understand
  • Review study materials so they make sense to real people
  • Talk about how to share results in ways that help others
