- I have had a stroke at least 6 months ago.
- I can speak English.
- I am 18 years old or older.
- I have been diagnosed with aphasia and naming problems.
You may not be able to join if

Check Your EligibilityThe optimal site of neuromodulation for post-stroke aphasia has yet to be established. This study will investigate whether multiple sessions of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) boosts language therapy in helping people recover from aphasia as well as predict who is likely to respond to cerebellar tDCS.
