Den Ouden, PhD, Dirk-Bart
Associate Professor
My background is in formal phonology and syntax, which I use to investigate how the brain supports language functions in healthy and aphasic speakers. One goal of my research is to improve treatment outcomes through a neurophysiological approach to stroke-induced deficits (cortical stimulation), in combination with behavioral language training. Along the way, I have used various experimental methods, such as fMRI, EEG and reaction time tasks. I also maintain an interest in linguistic theory.
