Sensory Memory in Speech Motor Learning

Stopped: End of funding

Canada120 participantsStarted 2019-08-01

Plain-language summary

The proposed studies focus on memory for speech movements and sounds and its relation to learning. Continuous theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (cTBS) will be used to suppress activity in a region of pre-frontal cortex associated with somatic and auditory working memory (Brodmann area 46v) to test its involvement in learning.
