Towards neurofeedback training of associative brain areas for stroke rehabilitation

We propose to extend the current focus of BCI-based stroke rehabilitation beyond sensorimotor-rhythms to also include associative brain areas. In particular, we argue that neurofeedback training of brain rhythms that signal a state-of-mind beneficial for motorlearning is likely to enhance post-stroke motor rehabilitation. We propose an adaptive neurofeedback paradigm for this purpose and demonstrate its viability on EEG data recorded with five healthy subjects.
