Stroke is the second cause of mortality and the third cause of long-term disability worldwide. Deficits in upper limb (UL) capacity persist at 6 months post-stroke in 30-66% of hemiplegic stroke patients with major limitations in activity of daily li...
BACKGROUND: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is widely investigated as a therapeutic tool to enhance cognitive function in older adults with and without neurodegenerative disease. Prior research demonstrates that electric current delive...
Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can non-invasively modulate neuronal activity in the cerebral cortex, in particular at the frequency of the applied stimulation. Such modulation can matter for speech processing, since the latter in...

BACKGROUND: Stroke is one of the main causes of impairment affecting daily activities and quality of life. There is a growing effort to potentiate the recovery of functional gait and to enable stroke patients to walk independently.
BACKGROUND: Upper limb motor deficits in patients with severe stroke often remain unresolved over time. Combining transcranial Direct Current Stimulation with robotic therapy is an innovative neurorehabilitation approach that holds promise to improve...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) and robot-assisted therapy (RAT) proved to be promising interventions in post-stroke rehabilitation. However, the effects of combining the two treatments are not significantly clear. To determine the eff...
BACKGROUND: The initial phases of robotic surgical skills acquisition are associated with poor technical performance, such as low knot-tensile strength (KTS). Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) can improve force and accuracy in motor task...
Considerable evidence highlights the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) as a key region for hierarchical (i.e. multilevel) learning. In a previous electroencephalography (EEG) study, we found that the low-level prediction errors were encoded by f...
