The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. (MCW) a $428,883 R21 research grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The grant will fund a 2-year project to investigate the use of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to enhance phonological short-term memory performance in stroke survivors with aphasia. The project aims to optimize tACS parameters, including targeted brain regions and stimulation frequencies, based on individualized assessments of lesion location, residual brain function, and oscillatory activity. The results are expected to provide a methodological basis for developing effective tACS-based neurorehabilitation strategies to improve language outcomes for individuals with post-stroke aphasia.
