Neurostimulation, or stimulation of the nervous system, is a category of methods that
modulate neural activity and can be used to investigate and enhance L2 learning and�…

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has become a common method to study the
interrelations between the brain and language functioning. This meta-analysis examined the�…

Background: Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has been used as a probe to modulate
cognitive functions in humans for the last 20 years. The two most commonly reported�…

Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a reliable technique to improve motor
learning. We here wanted to test its potential to enhance associative verbal learning, a skill�…

Language is a highly important yet poorly understood function of the human brain. While
studies of brain activation patterns during language comprehension are abundant, what is�…

Presumably, second-language (L2) learning is mediated by changes in the brain. Little is
known about what changes in the brain, how the brain changes, or when these changes�…

In humans, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can be used to induce, depending
on polarity, increases or decreases of cortical excitability by polarization of the underlying�…

With the advent of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), a new decade in the study of
language has started. NIBS allows for testing the functional relevance of language-related�…

Behavioral language treatment approaches represent the standard of care for persons with
aphasia (PWA), but the benefits of these treatments are variable. Moreover, due to the�…

Since its invention in 1985, TMS has become an increasingly important tool for investigating
the neurological basis of language. Here we review the brief history of language studies that�…
