Summary

This study tests whether combining two non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (tDCS and TMS) can improve memory, thinking, and movement in people who have had a stroke. Twenty-four participants will receive either real or fake (sham) stimulation daily for a week. Researchers will measure changes in cognitive and motor function using tests and brain imaging to see if the real treatment offers extra benefits.
