Summary
This study tested whether a mild, non-invasive electrical stimulation applied under the chin could change brain activity related to swallowing. Ten healthy adults without swallowing problems took part. The goal was to see if this simple technique could affect the brain's control of swallowing muscles, which might help future treatments for people with swallowing difficulties after a stroke.
