About this listen

In this episode of "Humanity Matters Most," Dr. Peggy Blake discusses her research on the impact of strokes on speech and theory of mind. She explains the role of the brain's hemispheres in language and communication, and the challenges faced after a right-sided stroke, including issues with nonverbal cues and relationships. Dr. Blake's study focuses on how theory of mind deficits evolve over time and their relationship with communication impairments. The conversation also covers the difficulties in diagnosing and treating communication issues post-stroke, emphasizing the need for standardized approaches to address these complex challenges.
