Prediction of clinical outcomes after CNS injury using cognitive neuroscience and computational linguistics.
In this report, we present preliminary data in which our methodology enables us to assess the auditory processing network in health individuals. We describe a tightly interactive bilateral neural network located in the temporal parietal lobes. This network is recruited independent of hearing and handedness. It is our intention to use this data to predict the 1, 2 and 3 year postsurgical language mediated neural network alterations following specific surgical interventions. Although we are primarily focused on auditory language processing networks, the same methodology can be used to assess all other aspects of language pro...
