This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) — a noninvasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain — combined with brain-computer interface training to help people who had a stroke recover movement in their arm and hand. The study will compare two different stimulation approaches in patients with varying degrees of arm weakness to see which works best and why some patients respond better than others.
After a stroke, many people lose the ability to move their arm and hand, and current physical therapy alone offers only modest improvement. This treatment aims to "rewake" the brain's motor network by combining magnetic brain stimulation with a training system that translates brain signals into muscle stimulation, potentially offering a more effective path to recovery.

You would visit the research center for sessions where researchers place a magnetic stimulation coil on your scalp and perform brain imaging to identify the right treatment area for you. Then you would receive either stimulation on the healthy side or the injured side of your brain, combined with training to imagine moving your fingers while connected to a brain-computer interface that provides electrical feedback to your forearm muscles. The study will assess whether this combination helps improve your arm function compared to standard rehabilitation alone.
