RECAP/RECORDING - From paramedic to aphasia advocate https://isoclive.substack.com/p/a11ynyc0826
Avi Golden was a critical care and flight paramedic until a stroke left him with Broca's aphasia. He now trains EMS, police and firefighters to recognise it — and makes the case for disability sports along the way.

It's difficult for me to imagine going from having a normal conversation to having no words. The impacts of losing the ability to communicate are profound.
In this new podcast episode, Dr. Jyutika Mehta and I spoke with Dr. Swathi Kiran and Patrick Prock about language recovery after stroke and evidence-based treatments and innovations in speech therapy that can help reconnect people with their friends, family, and community.

🗨️"I hope that my research has laid the foundation for a future tool for smartwatches or smartphones."
Master’s student Thijs van der Laan developed an #AI language model to help people with #aphasia find words.
🏆With his research ‘AI-phasia’ he received the FSE Impact.

me talking about a typewriter: I want you to know how long it took me to remember this wasn't called "a toolbox but for words" #aphasia #paraphasia

Today's #aphasia #paraphasia offering is "round potatoes" meaning bagels. Best I can figure, my brain was stuck on the circular shape of the bagel, and bagels and potatoes are both beige starchy foods that go in the toaster oven.
It's always interesting to see what linguistic connections there are in my brain. I don't get to pick the words when I'm having a paraphasia episode, so it's pure innate categorical substitution. Kind of neat.

long pauses, excessive use of filler words and difficulty finding what to say could signify deteriorating brain health. [1]
Um, two of those are among the most commonly noticeable changes in people post-acute-COVID-19:
One group of [Long COVID] symptoms that can be particularly troubling are language and cognitive difficulties [2]
and
Trouble finding words is common in those with long Covid. Fine-grain investigations of cognitive problems in this post-acute infectious syndrome identify deficits in lexical retrieval.
Damnit.

2/ One of the bidders came back today for a follow up. I was having an "on" day so I could articulate extremely well. I knew what time he was going to be here so we managed my medicine to work effectively.
I laid out what our four options were going to be, and he looked like he was surprised we had formulated options. (see below)
He left saying he will rework his bids. They weren't as bad as some of the others, but I think it was padded because of the #aphasia and the "intelligence" perception it gives. #neurology
Our #HVAC options include,
1) Add central cooling to our 3.5 year old energy efficient oil furnace, (We use under 200 gallons per year)* In conjunction with item 2 below. Bid ($8000)2) Install two more 12K/15K BTU PTAC units and call it a day. (Either with or without a central thermostat.)
We currently have 2 PTAC units which provides our current primary heat and cooling but works too hard with no cooling zones in the house which triggers Parkinson's Plus related autonomic responses when I go through them
We would continue using the oil furnace to pick up the slack which then would lower oil use even more.
COST: $1800 to $2000 retail each for Amana brand, plus $300 to $500 install labor incl electrical.) PTAC are "through the wall" heat pumps like hotels have.3) Replace that furnace completely with a heat pump, either electric or natural gas (Bid $18K to $35K)
4) install a ductless mini-split heat pump (Bid $15K to $20K)
Honestly, with our age and health, we probably will go with option 2.

University of Tokyo: AI overconfidence mirrors human brain condition . “So-called large language model (LLM)-based agents, such as ChatGPT and Llama, have become impressively fluent in the responses they form, but quite often provide convincing yet incorrect information. Researchers at the University of Tokyo draw parallels between this issue and a human language disorder known as aphasia, […]

AI systems are eerily fluent—but sometimes wrong. A new study finds they resemble brains with language disorders. #ArtificialIntelligence #Neuroscience #Aphasia

**Comparison of Large Language Model with Aphasia**
“_Large language models (LLMs) respond fluently but often inaccurately, which resembles aphasia in humans. Does this behavioral similarity indicate any resemblance in internal information processing between LLMs and aphasic humans?_”
