Brain wave study reveals how gestures connect minds after stroke
NCT ID NCT07518563
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the brains of people with aphasia (a language disorder after stroke) and healthy people work together during gestures. Using EEG, researchers measured brain synchronization while participants watched and copied different types of gestures. The goal was to better understand the brain processes behind gesture communication, not to test a treatment.
