Brief Summary:
Stroke often causes substantial problems in speaking or understanding speech Treatments for these problems are currently very limited Limited studies to date suggest that repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation TMS to the side of the brain opposite to the side on which the stroke occurred may improve language function The investigators are testing this hypothesis by giving daily 20 minute sessions of repeated TMS to the right unaffected side of the brain the investigators test language function with a variety of tests both before and after the treatment with TMS and subjects are required to undergo functional MRI scans before and after treatment TMS is a procedure in which a coil is placed next to the head of the subject and an electrical current passes through the coil causing a magnetic field that in turn causes a small electric current in the portion of the brain underneath the coil
