Researcher biography
Dr Marie-Pier McSween is a Canada trained speech-language pathologist who completed her PhD at The University of Queensland. Her research interests include language neuroscience, neuroimaging, aphasia rehabilitation, adjunct therapies and implementation science.
Dr McSween's research focuses on understanding the acute effects of exercise, the benefits of white noise, and the influence of Levodopa on new word learning in healthy adults and to develop new approaches to optimise interventions with patients presenting with language impairments following an acquired brain injury (e.g., stroke).
A second focus of Dr McSween's research is aphasia recovery and aphasia rehabilitation and the implementation of comprehensive post-stroke aphasia therapy programs, leading to enhanced outcomes for patients, significant others, clinicians, and health services.
