| The correlation between changes in motor control and motor function and cortical activity is measured by comparing the scores of the grip strength (motor control) and the Fugl-Meyer motor assessment (motor function) with the changes in activity of the cortex. The activity of the brain is summarized in *topoplots* showing the degree of (de)synchronization by a colorscale projected on a headmodel. Change of activity of the cortex is quantified by calculating the event related synchronization (i.e. the difference in power of the EEG between the resting and the action condition), and the Brain Symmetry Index (i.e. the symmetry of the activity between the two hemispheres). | — |
