Scientists zap brain to unlock speech learning secrets

NCT ID NCT04818268

Summary

This Yale University study aims to understand how our brain's memory systems help us learn new speech patterns. Researchers will use safe, non-invasive magnetic stimulation on healthy right-handed adults to temporarily reduce activity in a specific brain area involved in memory. They'll then measure how this affects participants' ability to adapt their speech when hearing altered feedback through headphones.
