I am keenly following the research in this area and would like to see if anyone is investigating rTMS and it's impact on functional communication skills in aphasia...in Sydney? Looking for participants??
I recommend you to get in touch with Prof. Lyndsey Nickels about this. She has a project investigating whether TMS enhances the effects of Melodic Intonation Therapy. Her research group reports two case-studies in this paper: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3912988/

Hi Vanessa, I run the TMS lab at Macquarie in Sydney. We have an interest in aphasia. Give me a call sometime if you would like to chat about this. 98506732. Paul
Thank you both for your responses. I have been in touch with Lyndsey and after speaking with Kirrie Ballard, I was going to contact you Paul! Will chat to you soon.
