What the study is about

The overall goal of this research is to test a new model of speech motor learning, whose central hypothesis is that learning and retention are associated with plasticity not only in motor areas of the brain but in auditory and somatosensory regions as well.

Being studied: continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS); Adaptation; Single pulse Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS); fMRI

Conditions: Speech
