Defne Abur<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An NIH\/NIDCD training grant (T32) fellow and a Hariri Institute Graduate Fellow in the\u00a0Sensorimotor Rehabilitation Engineering Lab<\/a>, <\/span>Abur’s research<\/a> focuses on auditory factors in voice and speech production, autophonic judgments of voice, and auditory perturbation paradigms to study speech motor control in populations with speech disorders. Her doctoral work has focused on investigating whether changes in auditory perception are related to disruptions in speech motor control in individuals with Parkinson\u2019s disease. <\/span>Abur will use the scholarship to help further her research on auditory contributions to speech production in individuals with and without neurological disease.

Natalie Gilmore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/strong> A doctoral candidate in the Aphasia Research Laboratory,<\/a> Gilmore’s research examines the behavioral and neural effects of the Intensive Cognitive and Communication Rehabilitation program<\/a> in young adults with acquired brain injury. This work, funded by an NIH\/NIDCD F31, will serve as her dissertation. Her\u00a0 future work seeks to uncover the mechanisms underlying recovery and plasticity in young adults with acquired brain injury to support their long-term independence and success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
