Catalyst. MEG Stuttering

Description

Stuttering is a disorder of the neural processing that underpins speech. It typically emerges in children aged two to four years, often as they move from using individual words to constructing sentences. For the vast majority of cases, brain development catches up and stuttering disappears. For a minority however, stuttering persists, causing severe and ongoing distress. Maryanne Demasi examines the world first child-safe brain scanning technology being used to better understand the causes of stuttering.
