Lab Members
Catherine Barr
I am a Speech-Language Pathology Master’s student at Syracuse University. I joined the lab during my second semester here because I was interested in pursuing a career in medical speech-language pathology, specifically with individuals who have sustained traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). I am currently working on a study investigating how text-to-speech technology can reduce cognitive load while reading in individuals with a history of mild TBI.
Lyndsey Jones
I am a senior undergraduate student at Syracuse University, majoring in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I joined the lab because I was interested in pursuing a career as an SLP in a clinical setting, specifically focused on the communication challenges people face during recovery from brain injury. Currently, I am working on a study that analyzes the question use of individuals with and without traumatic brain injury
Gillian Weltman
I am a junior majoring in CSD and Neuroscience. I got involved in the cognitive communication lab to expand my experience and knowledge in the field of traumatic brain injury (TBI) research. For my current project we are reaching out to community centers, assisted living facilities, and recreation centers to free, in-person cognitive screenings and educate the community on what SLP’s do.
