Summary
This study looks at how the brain processes and controls speech in healthy adults. Researchers want to understand how people notice their own speech mistakes and learn new sounds. About 117 English-speaking adults with normal hearing and no neurological conditions will take part. The study involves speech tasks and can last from one day to four weeks.
