Article Synopsis
  • Scientists used a technique called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to study how our brains control movement and the sounds we hear.
  • They found that TMS can help improve how people tell different sounds apart, showing that it can change how our brains work.
  • Their results suggest that TMS might be a good way to understand brain activity better, especially in how we process different types of sounds.

Speech decoding from non-invasive EEG signals can achieve relatively high accuracy (70-80%) for strictly delimited classification tasks, but for more complex tasks non-invasive speech decoding typically yields a 20-50% classification accuracy. However, decoder generalization, or how well algorithms perform objectively across datasets, is complicated by the small size and heterogeneity of existing EEG datasets. Furthermore, the limited availability of open access code hampers a comparison between methods.

Meta-analyses are a method by which to increase the statistical power and generalizability of neuroimaging findings. In the neurolinguistics literature, meta-analyses have the potential to substantiate hypotheses about L1 and L2 processing networks and to reveal differences between the two that may escape detection in individual studies. Why then is there so little consensus between the reported findings of even the most recently published and most highly powered meta-analyses? Limitations in the literature, such as the absence of a common method to define and measure descriptive categories (e.
