I commented there that I would be curious to know how they got permission to do such studies from their university’s Human Subjects Institutional Review Board for medicine? Apparently, “temporarily disabl[ing] the Wernicke area” and “negatively affect[ing its] cortical partners” using TMS during fMRI must be a pretty harmless procedure …. That was hyperbole, of course, and our editor pointed out as well that "there is a risk of seizure if not administered correctly" This is the second time that this same article and study has been highlighted here at KurzweilAI (see http://www.kurzweilai.net/how-the-human-brain-adapts-to-injury/comment-page-1#comment-88282 in the January 17th issue.
