Summary

This study aimed to understand which parts of the brain help us remember new ways of speaking. Researchers used magnetic pulses to temporarily quiet sensory brain areas after people learned a speech task, to see if it blocked memory. The study was terminated early, but planned to enroll 160 healthy right-handed adults.
