Study Summary

This trial is testing whether or not the part of the brain that controls senses also affects the consolidation of speech motor memory.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for right-handed adults with no known physical or neurological abnormalities. It's not suitable for those with epilepsy, a family history of it, on antidepressants/antipsychotics/antianxiety drugs, with heart devices/metal in the body, who are pregnant, or have had concussions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if brain sensory areas help solidify speech motor memory. Participants undergo transcranial magnetic stimulation (cTBS) to suppress somatosensory and auditory cortex activity after speech adaptation exercises to see if this affects learning retention.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the stimulation site, headache, lightheadedness or dizziness during cTBS application. There might also be temporary changes in hearing or speech perception.
