This study looks at how different people control their speech muscles, comparing neurotypical speakers to adults who stutter or have dyslexia. It could help us understand why some people have trouble producing fluent speech.
This trial looks at whether handling tools affects how our brain processes language. It may help us understand the connection between physical actions and thinking.
This study explores how hormone exposure before birth may affect hand coordination and fine motor skills in adults. Researchers will assess your hand function and coordination to understand these connections.
This study looks at how well children aged 8 to 12 use their hands for everyday tasks like writing. It may help us understand normal development and could lead to better support for children who struggle with these skills.
This study looks at how watching someone type and then typing yourself affects brain activity and typing speed. If you are a right-handed (or adaptable left-handed) healthy university student who already types with all ten fingers, you may help researchers learn more about how the brain controls skilled movements like typing.
This study looks at how the brain helps you learn and produce speech, especially the “motor” skills involved in making speech sounds. You may be able to take part if you’re healthy and meet the language, hearing, and medication requirements.
