Interventions

The aim of this project is to locate and compare areas of brain activation associated with spontaneous (Study 1) and training-induced (Study 2) recovery of touch sensation following stroke, using serial functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Intervention involves stimulus specific training of touch sensation and includes graded presentation of stimuli, active exploration, feedback and calibration of sensations. Training is conducted for 15 x 45 minute sessions over a 6 week interval.
