tACS to Enhance Language Abilities (NCT06092814)
Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) to Enhance Language Abilities
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study is to see if transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can be used to enhance language abilities in people with post-stroke aphasia. Participants will receive real and sham tACS in conjunction with various language tests. Researchers will compare the post-stroke aphasia group with aged matched controls to see if brain response to tACS differs between groups.
