Summary

Stroke is a major cause of severe cognitive and physical disability. Despite the high and increasing incidence, and large health, economic, social and personal consequences, studies designed to remedy cognitive impairments and improve rehabilitation care following stroke are lacking. A promising line of research have shown that weak electrical current (tDCS) can be a safe, cost-effective, and potent treatment when combined with other rehablitational approaches.

The underlying mechanism is assumed that tDCS facilitates neuronal signaling, improving plasticity and facilitating rehablitational outcome. But further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms at hand, and to better evaluate the potential clinical utility.

The scope for the current project is to investigate both cognitive and neuronal effects of tDCS in combination with cognitive training , with the ultimate goal to improve current rehabilitational healthcare. To achieve this we will use multimodal MRI, EEG, and a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological asessment, to describe and evaluate the effect of tDCS in rehabilitation purposes.
