Dr. Ghazi Saidi is the director of UNK Language & Cognition lab (https://www.unk.edu/academics/cdis/language-and-cognition-lab/index.php), where we conduct behavioral and neuroimaging research on Language and cognition in healthy adults and individuals with Aphasia and Dementia. We focus on adult language acquisition and disorders as well as cognitive and neuroscience aspects of language and cognition at aging. We also study the bilingual population with a focus on cognitive advantages of bilingualism as a contributing factor to cognitive reserve and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. We are also interested in Alternative Therapies including Animal-Assisted Therapy, Music Therapy, and Cognitive Stimulation for prevention & intervention of cognitive decline and promoting healthy aging in rural/urban monolingual/bilingual population, using telepractice, neuroimaging, quantitative and mixed methods, and clinical trials. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ladan-Ghazi-Saidi
