Brief Summary
The investigators hypothesize that a myoelectric (EMG) controlled VR interface allows for effective upper limb motor recovery of stroke patients. EMG control offers the possibility to alter visual fee...
Detailed Description
Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a novel form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation that mimics protocols inducing long-term potentiation (LTP) or long-term depression. Theta burst stimulati...
