Stroke Rehabilitation Using Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Technology

FES uses low energy electrical pulses to artificially generate body movements in individuals with muscle paralysis. FES can be used to generate muscle contraction in otherwise paralyzed limbs to restore function.

These assessments will include measures of upper extremity motor assessments, standard stroke scales, and measures of activities of daily living.

A functional magnetic resonance image will be collected.

EEG electrodes will be attached to the subject's scalp using a standard, commercially available electrode cap. Proper electrode placement is made according to the international 10-20 system, ensuring complete electrode coverage over sensorimotor cortex.
