Summary

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called HD-tDCS could improve word-finding in 14 people with aphasia (trouble speaking) after a stroke. Participants received stimulation over a language area while practicing naming actions. The goal was to see if this could strengthen connections between brain regions and make it easier to find words.
