Enhancing low-frequency oscillations using on-demand direct-current stimulation improves motor function after stroke

Introduction: 50% of strokesurvivors continue to have chronic motor deficits when tracked up to 5 years later, with limited therapeutic options available. One novel approach for treating these patients is to design a chronic neural-interface that could deliver stimulation optimally timed to improve the neural circuits associated with skilled actions.
