Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This is a double-blind study where half of participants will receive active transcranial stimulation and the other half of the participants will receive no transcranial magnetic stimulation; all participants will wear the cap. Participants and some members of the research team will not know who received active magnetic brain stimulation.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation -On
Participants wear the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) cap delivering magnetic stimulation to part of the brain.
repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation -On
Cap worn on the scalp will deliver active Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to specific parts of the brain
repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation -Off
Participants wear the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) cap that does NOT delivery any magnetic stimulation to the brain.
repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation -Off
Cap worn on the scalp will no delivery of the Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to any part of the, referred to as a sham or inactive study treatment.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Clinical diagnosis of chronic ischemic stroke recovering for more than 3 months with unilateral motor deficits of arm and leg, or arm alone; --
Exclusion Criteria
* Epileptogenic activity (indicative of increased risk of seizures) on EEG;
* Any active unstable medical condition;
* Pregnancy;
* Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, alcoholism, or substance abuse;
* Medications which in the investigator's clinical judgment significantly lower the seizure threshold;
* Presence of metal or electronic implants in the head (or any in the body that preclude MRI) , including pacemakers, defibrillators, aneurysm clips, neuro-stimulators, cochlear implants, metal in the eyes, etc.;
* Any changes in medications prescribed for the treatment of stroke impairment within six weeks prior to inclusion in the study or at any time during the study.
* Botulinum toxin use within two months prior to the screening visit or any planned use of botulinum toxin during the study
* Changes in NIHSS and motor assessment scores between Visit 1 and Visit 2 indicating that the patient's impairment is not stable. The following cutoffs, based on research establishing Clinically Important Differences, will be used for this determination:
* National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale: A change in total score of more than 2 points in either direction, or a change in the motor extremity score of more than 1 point in either direction.
* Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Sensorimotor Impairment: A change of more than 5 points in either direction on the upper-extremity motor score for the affected arm.
* Action Research Arm Test: A change of more than 5 points in either direction on the ARAT score for the affected arm.
* Any condition that precludes a high quality brain MRI scan.
