The rhythm of life: Individualised rhythmic transcranial magnetic stimulation to auditory cortex entrains alpha oscillators in older adults during listening Open
Age-related declines in top-down mechanisms like auditory working memory and attentional control can have a significant impact on an older adult's ability to perceive speech. These declines may be reflected in oscillatory alpha-band activi…
