Research Focus
Dr. Archana Venkataraman's lab focuses on using advanced machine learning techniques to improve the understanding and prediction of language recovery in people who have suffered a stroke. By combining various types of neuroimaging data and patient demographics, the lab aims to identify effective therapies for aphasia, a serious condition that affects communication abilities. The long-term goal is to develop tools that can provide personalized predictions about recovery outcomes, helping clinicians offer better guidance to their patients.
