processing. This review presents findings on aphasia, an impairment in language and communication, and discusses how different brain imaging techniques, including positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and iEEG, have advanced our understanding of the neural networks underlying language and
-based flexible electronics for intracranial recording in patients with aphasia.

Aphasia is an impairment in language and communication, which results from
damage to specific brain regions responsible for language [1]. Brain damage can be caused by stroke, tumours, seizures, infection, degeneration, or traumatic brain injury, with stroke being the most common cause of aphasia. According to the US National Aphasia Association, approximately two million
