>"Do you know how people who normally stutter don’t stutter that much or at all when they sing or listen to music" I agree completely! [Research](https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2022.894676/pdf) (2022) mentions about this, that when people who stutter (pws) speak fluently **alone**, that there are differences in the brain between stutterers and non-stutterers. This could lead to the conclusion that PWS are still evaluating, reacting to anticipatory fear and doing interventions - in order to maintain fluency. Whereas, if people who stutter - speak fluently when speaking synchronically/chorally (for example, speaking in class out loud at the same time with others), then there are no differences in the brain. This could lead to the conclusion that PWS focus on and prioritize the rhythm and timing, rather than hitting the right notes - so, the right-hemisphere is then not active anymore from the usual **perceiving stresses, reacting to triggers and doing interventions**. What is your opinion?
