P 69 Assessing the relation between brain structure and function during motor imagery in stroke patients and controls using EEG and MRI

Motor imagery (MI) training, in particular in combination with EEG-based neurofeedback (MI-NF), has been suggested as a potential add-on therapy for rehabilitation of upper limb motor impairments after stroke. Most MI-NF implementations are based on the event-related desynchronization (ERD) in the 8 –30Hz frequency range that is typically observed over sensorimotor areas during motor execution and imagination. The amplitude and consistency of the ERD depends, among other things, on brain structure and function during motor imagery (e.g., Halder et al., 2013; Zich et al., 2015).
