Brain stimulation with language learning for adults
This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation technique with structured language-learning sessions can help adults improve their language skills. It might be an option if you are interested in boosting your language learning.

This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help improve how your brain learns letters and sounds, and how well you read. You'll receive mild electrical stimulation to your scalp while learning letter-sound pairs, and researchers will use MRI scans to see how your brain responds.
This study tests whether pairing a gentle brain stimulation technique with structured reading instruction can improve reading skills in children with dyslexia. It aims to find a new way to support reading development.
This study tests whether electrical stimulation of the brain can change brain signals and support working memory (your ability to hold and use information briefly). It’s mainly for people who don’t have certain brain/mental health conditions and who are able to safely receive this type of stimulation.
This study looks at how people learn and remember speech movements. It may help explain how we improve speaking skills over time.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial random noise stimulation can help improve how quickly and accurately you perform language tasks. Researchers will measure your performance on language exercises before and after the stimulation.
This study tests a form of brain stimulation (TMS) in people who had a stroke affecting the left side of the brain. It aims to understand whether stimulation can help with language processing tasks at least a month after stroke.
