NCT ID NCT06458153

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study uses fMRI and EEG to understand how brain areas that plan movement interact with those that process sound during speech. Researchers will compare healthy adults and people who have had a cerebellar stroke. The goal is to learn how the brain adjusts hearing during speaking and detects speech errors.

What this could lead to

If successful, this research could improve our understanding of how the brain coordinates speech, potentially guiding future therapies for speech problems after stroke.

What could go wrong

This is an observational brain imaging study, not a treatment trial. It is early-stage and may not directly lead to new therapies.
