Is word-level lexical stress sensitivity affected by downregulation to the left superior temporal gyrus using TMS?

This paper reports two experiments using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to investigate whether word-level lexical stress involves the left superior temporal gyrus (STG) a grammar classification task designed elicit typicality effect. Experiment 1 used text presented stimuli and, although was not able effect, found response times were significantly slower in no TMS condition compared when the, control, right PAR region downregulated. In 2, speech instead of and accuracy similar across all three conditions. A decision control evidence, from time analysis, that STG involved word nonword judgments. The discussion explores findings relative role cortical regions processing.
