Research themes

NARU’s research portfolio contains four main research themes, each of which involve clinical activities.
These themes are: 

• Semantic cognition
  Semantically driven verbal and nonverbal behaviour made up of two interactive components: semantic representations (conceptual knowledge) and semantic control
• Normal and impaired language
  Studies of communication in humans, ranging from conversation in aphasia to morality and depression
• Clinical intervention in neuroscience and aphasia
• Research relating to rehabilitation. We run a speech therapy clinic and our studies investigate a wide variety of clinical techniques and advances.
