Summary
The K99/R00 Award will support my transition to an independent researcher focused on using repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) to enhance post-stroke aphasia recovery. The majority of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) studies, including those using rTMS, apply facilitatory stimulation to the left Inferior Frontal Gyrus (IFG) or inhibitory stimulation to its right homologue. While IFG is an important hub, the language system is widespread and complex, and its damage induce impairments that vary significantly across individuals. For instance, post-stroke aphasia often leads t
