<div dir="ltr"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" size="2">We are recruiting MSc and PhD students for a funded MEG study looking at neuronal connectivity and stroke recovery. Students will have the opportunity to undergo research through the Depts of Kinesiology
or Psychology/Neuroscience at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.</font></div>

<div dir="ltr"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" size="2">This research project will capitalize on the spatiotemporal resolution of MEG to examine changes in connectivity within the sensorimotor network of individuals post-stroke. Specifically, the goal of
this research is to ‘pave the road to post-stroke rehabilitation’. Identifying the ‘normal’ sensorimotor network and establishing the relationship between network re-organization and functional recovery will permit the development and implementation of treatments
to direct brain recovery. With regard to the proposed research project, and in groups of non-disabled controls and patients post-stroke, our objectives include:</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" size="2"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" size="2">1. To establish the connectivity pattern of the ‘normal’ sensorimotor network and demonstrate the ability to detect changes within the network using an established motor learning paradigm</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" size="2">2. Using clinical measures of upper limb function, we will establish the relationship between the pattern of sensorimotor network connectivity and functional recovery in well and poorly recovered patients
