DESCRIPTION:Kate Watkins and her research group use brain imaging and brai
 n stimulation to understand how the brain achieves the remarkable feat of 
 communication using speech and language.  One of the groups research areas
  focuses on stuttering (aka stammering)\, which affects 5-8% of children a
 nd at least 1% of adults.  The research group has identified differences i
 n brain structure and connectivity in people who stutter and differences i
 n brain function during stuttered speech.  The group also completed the fi
 rst randomised controlled trial of brain stimulation alongside fluency tra
 ining to enhance fluency in adults who stutter.\n \nJonathan is a DPhil st
 udent at St. Anne's College currently pursuing a DPhil in the Philosophy o
 f Psychiatry with a particular focus on stammering. As someone with lived 
 experience of stammering disorder\, his research has personal significance
  beyond his academic interest in mental health.\n\nTeams link: https://www
