Biography
Sara Pillay, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Neurology. She specializes in understanding language reorganization after stroke in patients with aphasia using neuropsychological data, neuroimaging, and electrical stimulation techniques. In addition, she has interest in developing and testing language paradigms for use during intraoperative electrical stimulation mapping and electrocorticography. Her work has been presented at several national and international conferences, and published in peer-reviewed professional journals. She is currently a co-investigator in the Language Imaging Laboratory and a member of the Southeastern Wisconsin Stroke Rehabilitation Center.
