Cerebral Palsy and the Study of Brain Activity During Motor Tasks
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seek participants age five and older with childhood-onset brain injury (e.g.,cerebral palsy) to join a research study. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and/or electroencephalography (EEG) may be used to study brain activity. Learning how the brain controls muscles may help design treatments to help patients with brain injury to move better.
