     An investigation of aphasia and its treatment, with a special focus on the development of software for communication and rehabilitation. Developers are invited to collaborate on an opensource project.

     Extractions: Existing communication programs - and their limitations Computer technology has brought large improvements for patients who suffers from purely motor disturbances of the speech ability. These patients, who have unimpaired comprehension, and who usually are able to read (but who may not be able to write because of paresis) have profited from a number of different solutions. Many have got the idea, that similar programs and systems could serve aphasic persons equally well, and a number of programs have been developed and described. Unfortunately, it has proved to be a much more difficult task to support the aphasic persons communication. Aphasic patients have impairments of their "inner language" and usually has impaired reading and writing abilities at a level close to their difficulties with spoken language. Moreover, there is a surprising lack of evaluation of the effect of these programs. The American program C-VIC is one of the few, that has been the subject of papers in scientific journals (

Aphasia is a language disorder that results from damage to portions of the brain that are responsible for language. For most people, these are parts of the left side (hemisphere) of the brain. Aphasia usually occurs suddenly, often as the result of a stroke or head injury, but it may also develop slowly, as in the case of a brain tumor . The disorder impairs both the expression and understanding of language as well as reading and writing. Aphasia may co-occur with speech disorders such as dysarthria or apraxia of speech , which also result from brain damage. Who has aphasia? Anyone can acquire aphasia, but most people who have aphasia are in their middle to late years. Men and women are equally affected. It is estimated that approximately 80,000 individuals acquire aphasia each year. About one million persons in the United States currently have aphasia. What causes aphasia?

In particular, we are interested in the following issues: Why do some individuals with aphasia experience difficulty in producing verb inflections? Do these individuals have parallel deficits in comprehending verb inflections? What variables, if any, influence the production of verb inflections in aphasic individuals?

Review of the literature Next Aphasia is a common consequence of stroke, the reported prevalence ranging up to one third of the patients in the acute phase (Kotila et al . 1984, Reinvang et al . 1984, Wade et al . 1986). Spontaneous recovery of aphasia is at its greatest during the first 3 months, but some improvement may take place even later on (Demeurisse et al . 1980, Kotila et al . 1984, Wade et al et al et al . 1995), and a valid prognosis of aphasia can usually be made within the first month after stroke (Pedersen et al et al Although clinical experience has shown that communicative disorders may markedly contribute to the severity and persistence of depression, psychiatric evaluations of aphasic patients are scarce. Herrmann et al . (1993) concluded that “moderately and severely aphasic patients are an important subpopulation in investigations of PSD that must not be disregarded by exclusion for methodological reasons”.

     Extractions: She owes much to Metropolis: I wonder about who might be inside the invisible city, attempting to move about surreptitiously, ducking surveillance: this time not a sinister mechanistic double, but now, a live being, who really comes into life through code, her amniotic fluid, into a neural topology that shifts across boundaries and checkpoints, that keeps crashing and coming back, a city on fire in the darkness of the electronic labyrinth [1]. Imagine cyberspace, like music, a neural landscape. How is a cyborg's cage a familiar memory. How is it alien, like repression content for which we long but cannot assimilate and understand. What are the conditions of entrapment. What happens when neurons diminish into darkness. What happens as she runs out of time. Might we think of her predicament as a left hemisphere stroke. The pathways of memory erode and lose definition. She has only moments of brilliance and her speech is scattered. Self-aware, she is fluent in fragments. Meshed in by software lesions, her right brain transposes. Sounds and flashes set and reset in recursive loops.

     http://www.tmc.edu/tmcnews/06_01_03/page_24.html
     
     Extractions: Unless we are in the middle of the often-frustrating task of learning a new language or are listening in awe at our children as they begin to use words, we usually take language for granted. Language is all around us. It is unlikely that we could easily remove ourselves from words for more than just a moment or two. Language is vitally important to us - it forms the basis of our very thoughts and the sense we make of the world around us. Unfortunately, there are medical conditions that can result in the impairment of language as a function of the brain. This impairment is called aphasia. Treatment advances in aphasia also are increasing, and are not simply directed at improving speech and language itself. Conventional speech-language therapy for aphasia has been a feature of rehabilitation medicine for many decades. Psychological and neuropsychological aphasia consultations are newer but established facets of ongoing patient care. Pharmacological interventions to help manage aphasia continue to be investigated, including the medications donepezil and bromocriptine. One of the more exciting aspects of treatment to emerge is the extension of intervention beyond the clinic setting into the real-life social environments that patients return to after release from acute hospitalization and rehabilitation. At the forefront of treatment efforts since the 1960s has been Martha Taylor Sarno, head of speech-language services at the New York University Howard Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine.
