Brief summary

The aims of this study are in four experimental sessions. The aims are: * to characterize the excitability of the cortical pharyngeal area with pharyngeal pressure and electromyograms (EMGs), at rest, in awake healthy subjects; * to study its facilitation by inspiration and deglutition; and * to study its plasticity by respiration and swallowing.
