Stuttering is a chronic communication disorder that arises from problems in the brain processes that control speech. This research aims to use magnetoencephalography, a new and extremely fast method of brain imaging, to study the parts of the human brain that underlie speech production. By studying the brains of both child and adult stutterers the causes of stuttering will become more apparent. Ultimately, this research will lead to more effective treatments for stuttering.

口吃是一种慢性沟通障碍，由控制语言的大脑过程出现问题引起。这项研究的目的是使用脑磁图，一种新的和极快的大脑成像方法，来研究人类大脑中产生语言的部分。通过研究儿童和成人口吃者的大脑，口吃的原因将变得更加明显。最终，这项研究将导致更有效的治疗口吃。
