Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of neural plasticity seen in stroke patients by measuring the changes in brain activity during stimulation using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) when applying transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for the purpose of enhancing finger function.
