This trial is testing a new approach to help stroke survivors recover arm movement and function. Researchers are combining brain-computer interface technology with immersive virtual reality to create a rehabilitation tool that responds to your brain's signals. The technology gives you real-time feedback through sight, sound, and touch as you practice imagining arm movements, with the goal of retraining your brain and helping your arm work better.
About 70% of stroke survivors struggle with arm weakness that can last years, making everyday tasks difficult and affecting quality of life. This new treatment aims to fill a gap by combining brain-sensing technology with virtual reality to promote deeper healing and learning in the brain compared to standard rehabilitation alone.

You will attend rehabilitation sessions where you'll wear sensors on your head that read your brain activity. You'll perform guided arm movements (both physical and imagined) while wearing a virtual reality headset that responds to your brain signals with immersive visual and sensory feedback. The study uses a crossover design, meaning you'll try two different versions of the brain-computer training—one with full virtual reality and one without—so researchers can compare which approach works better. You'll continue your regular rehabilitation therapy throughout the study.
