Stroke Rehabilitation Using BCI Technology

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Nov 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this research is to determine if functional muscle stimulation, directed by electroencephalogram (EEG) output, can increase the extent of stroke recovery on behavioral measures and induce brain plasticity as measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Participants will include stroke patients with upper-limb hemiparesis and can expect to be on study for approximately 4 months.
