Overview

David Caplan is affiliated with Harvard University in the United States. Their research activity is primarily situated at the intersection of medicine and neuroscience, with a particular focus on cognitive neuroscience and related domains such as developmental and educational psychology, radiology, nuclear medicine and imaging, neurology, and psychiatry and mental health.

The main topics addressed in Caplan's work include neurobiology of language and bilingualism, reading and literacy development, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, cerebrovascular and carotid artery diseases, stroke rehabilitation and recovery, and telemedicine and telehealth implementation.

Caplan's recent papers exemplify their research interests and contributions within these fields:

  • "Common and distinct neural substrates of sentence production and comprehension" (2020, NeuroImage)
  • "A Computational Evaluation of Two Models of Retrieval Processes in Sentence Processing in Aphasia" (2021, Cognitive Science)
  • "White Matter Hyperintensities Predict Response to Language Treatment in Poststroke Aphasia" (2020, Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair)
  • "Predicting language recovery in post-stroke aphasia using behavior and functional MRI" (2021, Scientific Reports)
  • "Structural disconnections associated with language impairments in chronic post-stroke aphasia using disconnectome maps" (2022, Cortex)

Caplan frequently publishes in several scientific venues, including Cortex, Pleiades, NeuroImage, Cognitive Science, and Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair. The distribution of their publications highlights a recurring interest in both high-impact neuroscience journals and specialized clinical and cognitive publications.

Collaboration forms a significant part of Caplan's scientific work. Their frequent coauthors include Swathi Kiran, Cynthia K. Thompson, Brenda Rapp, Todd B. Parrish, and Elena Barbieri. These collaborations reflect connections with researchers active in language neuroscience, neurorehabilitation, and cognitive processes related to aphasia and brain function.
