Research Interests

Bijoyaa Mohapatra’s research interests are in psychophysiological measurement of cognitive behavior, biofeedback training, and mind-body complementary and integrative health practices in rehabilitation of adults with communication disorders following acquired brain injury. She combines behavioral (performance-based) and neural (functional near infrared spectroscopic imaging; fNIRS) measures to understand cognitive functioning in individuals with post-stroke aphasia. She is currently exploring the efficacy of remotely delivered group-based intervention practices and their impact on specific outcome measures such as life participation, personal identity, and communication environment in individuals with aphasia. She directs the Aphasia-Behavior-Communication (ABC) Research Lab at LSU.
