What this Trial Is About
Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is a common source of invisible disability. The actual techniques of cognitive remediation have been reported to have only a small effect, justifying the need to foster research in this field. Real-time functional MRI neurofeedack (rt-fMRI NF) is a procedure of brain-machine interface supporting self-regulation of brain activity, with promising results in the treatment of mental disorders. The main objective of the study is to evaluate in a pilot study, the ability of stroke patients to learn to self-regulate their brain activity in a priviledged direction, using rt-fMRI NF
