Association between aphasia severity and brain network alterations after stroke assessed using the electroencephalographic phase synchrony index

Abstract Electroencephalographic synchrony can help assess brain network status; however, its usefulness has not yet been fully proven. We developed a clinically feasible method that combines the phase synchrony index (PSI) with resting-state 19-channel electroencephalography (EEG) to evaluate post-...
