Synergistic effects of action observation and object affordance on cortical excitability during BCI-triggered motor imagery in stroke: a randomized, within-subject, 2 × 2 factorial study protocol
Background Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) using motor imagery (MI) offer promising rehabilitation potential for upper limb function in stroke survivors. Conventional paradigms rely on abstract visual feedback, which may lack ecological validity and could limit neural recruitment. Action observation (AO) and object aff...
