Jasmine Bergstrom
About Jasmine is an undergraduate student at Boston University majoring in Neuroscience on the pre-med track, with plans to attend medical school in the future. She is deeply interested in neuroscience, particularly cognition, language, and how the brain supports communication and movement. At the Center for Brain Recovery, she assists with conducting assessments in both […]
Erin Carpenter
About I am interested in translational research on neurological disorders, including aphasia, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. In particular, my work focuses on understanding reserve and recovery in aging and post-stroke aphasia through functional neuroimaging techniques (i.e., fNIRS and EEG). This research examines how individual life experiences, such as bilingualism, may contribute to greater […]

Madeline Dunne
About Maddy is a first-year PhD student and an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist. Her research interests center on advancing naturalistic and functional treatment approaches for aphasia, with a particular interest in conversation-based and group interventions. She is dedicated to understanding how aphasia impacts social participation and everyday functioning, and she aims to investigate outcomes that extend […]
Essiet-Adidiong Ette
About Essiet-Adidiong Ette is pursuing a PhD in Neuroscience. Her research at the Center for Brain Recovery focuses on understanding functional brain network organization in individuals with post-stroke aphasia. Using task-based fMRI and functional connectivity analyses, she examines how communication among large-scale brain networks changes following stroke and how these patterns may support residual language […]
