A research project using ultra-high field fMRI to study brain activity during speech production, focusing on the cerebellum's role in sensory modulation and speech disorders.
Description
This project aims to improve understanding of how the brain’s motor system interacts with its sensory systems via the cerebellum during speech production. It employs ultra-high field functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map brain activity during speaking tasks, with the goal of elucidating mechanisms underlying speech disorders.
