Previous studies demonstrated the efficacy of EEG-Brain-Computer Interfaces based on Motor Imagery (MI-BCI) in post stroke functional motor recovery of upper limbs [1]; however, the maintenance of such effects in the long-term is still partially unexplored. Here we tackled this long-term aspect of MI-BCI induced positive effects on rehabilitation outcomes by analyzing an EEG dataset acquired from subacute stroke patients recruited in the longitudinal Randomized Controlled Trial reported in [2]. The oscillatory activity in the EEG beta band known as related to MI tasks within BCI contexts [1], [3], was studied at different time points in two groups of participants one performing MI practice with BCI assistance (BCI group) while the other performing MI training alone (CTRLgroup).
