This study aimed to compare functional brain networks and identify recovery markers in 12 stroke patients (SG) and 14 healthy controls (HG) using EEG during three fist-task paradigms. Analyzing clustering coefficient (CC), characteristic path length (CPL), small-world index (SWI), and frontal node strength across frequency bands, passive task revealed significant alpha band differences in CC/CPL/SWI between groups. Lower SG strength in alpha/mu vs. controls predicted better recovery. An automated source imaging pipeline reduced volume conduction effects, providing new insights into stroke rehabilitation outcomes. Large-scale source imaging shows promise for broader disease applications.
