Dr Holly Robson
- Lecturer in Clinical Language Sciences
- Stroke Association Senior Research Training Fellow
Areas of interest
My research interests are in auditory processing and language comprehension and auditory comprehension impairments post-stroke.
I am interested in applying behavioural and mixed neuroscience methodologies to understand the mechanisms underlying recovery or non-recovery from acute comprehension impairments post-stroke.
