Speech Motor Control Vocal Learning

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Vowel Space Expansion Sensorimotor Adaptation," aims to learn how our brains control and process speech, especially how we notice and correct our own speech mistakes. Researchers hope to understand how people learn to produce new speech sounds. The study will involve 117 healthy adults who speak English and have normal hearing and speech abilities. Participants should not have any history of stroke or neurological disorders.

If you join this study, you can expect to be involved for a short time, ranging from just one day to up to four weeks, depending on the part of the research you're participating in. To be eligible, you should be between the ages of 65 and 74 years, and you must be able to understand and communicate in English. The study is currently recruiting participants, so if you or someone you know fits these criteria, it could be a great opportunity to contribute to important research in understanding speech.
