Magnetic Brain Stimulation and Computer-based Motor Training for Rehabilitation After Stroke

Summary

The goal of the present clinical trial is to explore whether an innovative technology-based approach can help individuals who have had a stroke and can no longer move their hands with ease. Our approach consists of a combination of two technologies: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). The former entails the application of magnetic fields over the head to stimulate the brain preparing it for a better ability to produce movement. The latter consists of mea
