A case of partial recovery after stroke and its associated brain reorganization in a chronic patient after combined brain computer interface (BCI) training and physiotherapy is presented. A multimodal neuroimaging approach based on fMRI and diffusion tensor imaging was used to investigate plasticity of the brain motor system in parallel with longitudinal clinical assessments. A convergent association between functional and structural data in the ipsilesional premotor areas was observed. As a proof of concept investigation, these results encourage further research on a specific role of BCI on brain plasticity and recovery after stroke.

Carìa et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Chronic stroke (n=1). Combined brain-computer interface (BCI) training and physiotherapy was evaluated on Recovery and plasticity of the brain motor system (via fMRI, diffusion tensor imaging, and longitudinal clinical assessments). Combined BCI training and physiotherapy in 1 chronic stroke patient led to partial recovery and convergent functional and structural plasticity in ipsilesional premotor areas.
