Summary

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tACS) combined with language exercises to improve naming ability in people with aphasia after a stroke. About 64 adults with Broca's or mixed aphasia will receive either real or sham stimulation during therapy sessions. The goal is to see if this approach helps them name objects more accurately.
