The NEURAL Research Lab is located within Indiana University Bloomington's Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences Department, and is directed by Dr. Brielle C. Stark. It was founded in 2018, and its main purpose is to characterize language and its neural underpinnings in individuals with neurogenic communication disorders, especially aphasia. The lab is primarily interested in spoken language, especially discourse (connected speech: language beyond a single word/clause and used for a specific purpose), and its intersection with multimodal communicative channels (especially gesture) and internal language/lived experience (inner speech).
The spreadsheet with demographic and test result data is included with the Downloadable transcripts. Basic demographic information is also included in the AphasiaBank demographic spreadsheets.
The full discourse protocol was administered to all participants twice within a short period of time to examine the stability of discourse measures.
The full NEURAL protocol and best practices manual is available here.
