Brain Training System Using Electroencephalography (EEG) for Neurorehabilitation of Hand Function After Stroke

Not Applicable
Conditions
Stroke
Registration Number
NCT02323074
Lead Sponsor
Chinese University of Hong Kong
Brief Summary

In this project we will design a control algorithm to identify the focalized motor-related clusters for hand function on each stroke patient. A real-time feedback will control the robotic hand when motor imagery is successfully identified. Finally, the focalized BCI-robot training will be compared in a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the training effectiveness and changes in the EEG patterns.
