Study Summary

This trial aims to investigate whether placebo in isolation (open and hidden) has a specific neural signature in stroke subjects thus providing a novel mechanism to explain placebo effects that can be used to ultimately enhance stroke rehabilitation therapies.

Primary Outcome

The FAA score will be calculated by subtracting the natural log-transformed alpha power in the left frontal region (F3, F7, Fp1) from the natural log-transformed power in the right frontal region (F4, F8, Fp2).
