Stimulating language: insights from TMS.
Fifteen years ago, Pascual-Leone and colleagues used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to investigate speech production in pre-surgical epilepsy patients and in doing so, introduced a novel tool into language research. TMS can be used to non-invasively stimulate a specific cortical region and transiently disrupt information processing. These 'virtual lesion' studies offer not only the abi...

Many labs are actively developing TMS paradigms as tools to be used in parallel with fMRI and other methods, to explore human brain function. In a recent study, Théoret et al. applied TMS over the cerebellum, and claim that they can activate and d...
متن کاملNew insights into rhythmic brain activity from TMS-EEG studies.
There is renewed interest in the functional role of oscillatory brain activity in specific frequency bands, investigated in humans through electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings. In parallel, there is a growing body of research on non-invasive direct stimulation of the human brain via repetitive (rhythmic) transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and on those f...
متن کاملTask-based Language Teaching in L2 English Writing Classrooms: Insights from Chinese Senior Secondary Schools
There is little research on the task-based teaching approach in senior secondary L2 English writing classrooms. This study carried out an exploratory sequential mixed methods study to explore the suitability and adaptations of task-based language teaching in the domain of secondary schools in small cities. First, the researcher surveyed six EFL senior secondary teachers of different teaching ex...
