TMS-EEG in Stroke

This project aims to advance our understanding of motor network functioning in the human brain and explore the optimal application of TMS in clinical contexts, particularly for enhancing motor recovery following stroke. To achieve this, we analyze EEG data obtained during TMS sessions with chronic stroke patients and healthy elderly controls, investigating the effects of excitability states and their interaction with functional connectivity on motor response. We aim to contribute to the development of more effective and personalized rehabilitation strategies for stroke survivors, such as brain-state-dependent stimulation approaches or the identification of biomarkers to guide treatment interventions.
