The Comprehensive Aphasia Test (CAT), a standardized battery with 34 subtests, has been adapted into eight different languages, with other 11 language adaptations close to being finished.

A update on the current validation of Cant-CAT can be found here.

這是一項關於失語症的學術研究，旨在探討一）密集式全面性治療對失語症患者的成效； 二）比較面授式與網絡復康式密集式全面性治療的成效；以及三）比較密集式全面性治療與傳統治療方案的分別。

研究目的: 本研究旨在探究一種新型的非入侵性的腦刺激療法——經顱交流電刺激治療（Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation或TACS）對中風後慢性失語症患者的療效。我們希望透過腦電圖素描了解失語症患者的腦神經結構, 以定制個人化的腦刺激治療方案。 招募對象:  中風後失語症患者: – 中風次數不多於一次 – 中風後至少6個月 – (中風前)慣用手為右手 – 18-70歲 – 母語為廣東話的香港居民 – 無任何精神科或腦神經疾病(除中風外) 健康人士: – 40-70歲 – 慣用手為右手 – 母語為廣東話的香港居民 – 無任何精神科或腦神經疾病
