First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at brain activity in children aged 5-15 with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) compared to typically developing children. Using a special EEG cap, researchers measure brain waves while children watch and then perform simple actions like reaching for objects. The goal is to understand how the mirror neuron system works in CP, which could improve future rehabilitation programs.
