Our  

current  

research

  

with  

functional  

imaging  

(fMRI)  

regarding

the   

effects   

of   

rhythmic-melodic   

voice   

training   

SIPARI®   

on

language    

and    

speech    

motor    

capabilities,    

and    

associated

reorganization  

in  

patients  

with  

chronic  

aphasia  

and  

apraxia  

of

speech   

is   

carried   

out   

in   

cooperation   

with   

the

Our  

recent  

study  

with  

patients  

suffering  

from  

chronic  

aphasia

and   

apraxia   

of   

speech   

already   

demonstrated   

that   

after   

50

SIPARI®  

sessions  

activation  

changed  

to  

left-hemisphere  

regions

round    

the    

lesion    

(extended    

black    

area)    

correlating    

with

significant  

improvements  

of  

language  

capabilities  

(assessed  

by

the  

Aachener  

Aphasie  

Test).
