Overview

Walter Huber is affiliated with RWTH Aachen University in Germany, with a research focus spanning neuroscience and medicine. Their work primarily addresses cognitive neuroscience and rehabilitation, with additional contributions in epidemiology, social psychology, and developmental and educational psychology.

Huber's research topics encompass the neurobiology of language and bilingualism, stroke rehabilitation and recovery, acute ischemic stroke management, action observation and synchronization, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, reading and literacy development, and linguistic research and analysis.

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Huber include Klaus Willmes, Ferdinand Binkofski, Agnes Flöel, Dorothea Peitz, and Katja Hußmann.

Huber's publications have appeared in venues such as Cortex, Journal of Neurology, Neurologie & Rehabilitation, and the European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine.

Recent papers include:

  • The prevalence of apraxia of speech in chronic aphasia after stroke: A bayesian hierarchical analysis (2022, Cortex)
  • Success rates of intensive aphasia therapy: real-world data from 448 patients between 2003 and 2020 (2024, Journal of Neurology)
  • 5-year course of therapy-induced recovery in chronic non-fluent aphasia - Three single cases (2020, Cortex)
