Abstract:

EEG is a reliable technique for exploring functional activity of the brain and is sensitive to changes in neural plasticity processes related to LTP-like phenomena and clinical recovery after brain lesions. Its use in this field of neuroscience should be encouraged, in particular in searching traces of plasticity processes to provide a biological marker to lead improvements of brain functioning.
