Summary

This study investigates how brain activity changes when people imagine moving their wrist. Researchers will use advanced brain scans (MRI and MEG) to create personalized models of these signals, then test if they can decode imagined movements using simpler EEG recordings. The goal is to improve brain-computer interfaces that could help stroke patients with arm weakness. The study includes healthy adults and a small group of stroke patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this research could lead to better brain-computer interfaces that help stroke patients regain arm movement through mental practice.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage study with only 35 participants, focused on understanding brain signals rather than testing a treatment. The results may not directly translate into a therapy.
