Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria: are (1) healthy controls or (2) patients hospitalized or outpatients with stroke in our department, (3) those who can follow our instructions, (4) those who are able to keep sitting upright with backrest, and (5) those who are able to tolerate scans of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and behavioral tasks in the higher-order visuospatial function test.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Healthy controls: those who have a medical history of brain disease, neuromuscular disease, heart disease or seizure; those who have an implanted medical device incompatible with MRI (pacemaker, defibrillator, cochlear implant, deep brain/vagal nerve stimulator, magnetic clip, and dental magnetic implant, etc.); and pregnant woman. Stroke: those who do not meet the inclusion criteria and those who meet the exclusion criteria described in the section of healthy controls.
