Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
EEG alpha band and Beta band	Change of EEG alpha band and Beta band 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the tACS intervention will be measured.	Electroencephalography (EEG) is valuable to infer and evaluate the neural interaction. Components of the alpha and beta frequency bands like the sensorimotor rhythm originated from the primary motor cortex and related brain areas reflect human movement. The power of 8-13 Hz alpha and 14-30 Hz beta frequency bands will be used for the classification.
Block and Box Test (BBT) of Motor functional test	Change of BBT performance 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the tACS intervention will be measured.	The Box and Block Test (BBT) measures unilateral gross manual dexterity. It is a quick and simple test used with a wide range of populations, including clients with stroke.
