Abstract

Stroke motor rehabilitation strategies using neuromodulation paradigms that take advantage of the motor predictive characteristics of the electroencephalographic signal are currently subject to extensive research. Such rehabilitation strategies follow a top-down approach, in which targeted neurophysiological changes in the central nervous system are expected to induce functional improvement. This chapter presents a series of studies regarding processing algorithms to detect motor intentionality and a neuromodulation paradigm to improve the upper-limb functionality. The experiments were developed and tested with stroke patients.
