Research in Language Networks with the Help of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Caption

The scientists presume that the ability to compensate an impaired process by another part of the brain depends on the hierarchy level on which the language is perturbed: Processing the rhythm of a word is such a basic mechanism that cannot be simply overtaken by another part. They gained their insights by using the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS, picture)
