TMS applied to the Broca’s area specifically impairs the ability to discriminate videos showing speech but not non-speech oral movements. The task was to discriminate if two successive videos showed the same or different lip movement. The horizontal axis shows performance with trials where the videos showed speech movements versus non-speech gurning (with error bars showing the range of standard errors). The vertical axis of the left panel shows response time while the right panel shows accuracy. Broca’s area was disrupted on half the trials (TMS, red lines) and not disrupted on the remaining trials (Sham, blue lines).
