During the reading condition and the completion task, several activation periods were established to gather data from the period of time the subjects were in the scanners. Functional magnetic resonance imaging data was collected from aphasic patients before the constraint-induced aphasia therapy and after. During the behavioral improvement evaluation, the experimental group was tested with the spontaneous speech test, Token Test, and auditory and semantic comprehensibility tests. They participated in these tests both before and after the therapy. The control group did not partake in this section of the study. Both the control group and the experimental aphasic group completed the simple reading task and the word stem completion task, but the experimental group completed it twice for comparison in before and after the
