Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and motor-imagery-based brain computer interface (BCI) training is effective for enhancing motor recovery after stroke. The PI's hypothesis is that, in comparison with traditional physical therapy alone, subjects receiving supplementary rTMS and BCI training will show greater functional improvements in hand motor ability over time as well as recovery of normal motor connectivity patterns.
Primary Outcome
The MRI and functional MRI will evaluate the extent to which cortical areas are recruited both during rest and during movement related tasks. This is quantified by a laterality index, calculated as the ratio of activations of ipsi- and contra-lesional precentral gyri during a paretic hand tracking task. A LI of -1 corresponds to entirely contralesional activation, while a value of +1 corresponds to entirely ipsilesional activation.
