Fig. 1. Reactivity indices of the EEG α-rhythm (%) in children with left-side (A) and right-side (B) hemiparesis during mental rehearsal of the left-hand movement in the first session (red bars) and in the final session (white bars) of the BCI-based rehabilitation course. The figure shows the mean values and standard errors. Differences in RI between the two groups are marked by * (p < 0.05) and between the sessions, by ▲ (p < 0.05)
