Subthreshold electrical stimulation as a low power electrical treatment for stroke rehabilitation

Abstract As a promising future treatment for stroke rehabilitation, researchers have developed direct brain stimulation to manipulate the neural excitability. However, there has been less interest in energy consumption and unexpected side effect caused by electrical stimulation to bring functional r...
