Since you don't know how neuroplasticity works, how EXACTLY ARE YOUR MEASURING IT?
You haven't identified the EXACT signals between neurons that tell one neuron to drop their use and take on a neighboring neuron's use! That could then make neuroplasticity repeatable on demand. Until that occurs ALL OF THIS SUPPOSED NEUROPLASTICITY RESEARCH IS ALMOST COMPLETELY FUCKING USELESS!

Abstract:
Stroke remains one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide,
severely impairing motor and cognitive functions. Post-stroke recovery involves complex
neuroplastic mechanisms that cannot be adequately described by classical linear models. In
this context, fractal theory and nonlinear dynamics offer an innovative framework for
understanding and optimizing rehabilitation processes. This study aims to evaluate the
applicability of fractal theory in post-stroke rehabilitation by identifying relationships
between fractal movement complexity and functional recovery, and by proposing a
personalized rehabilitation model based on fractal indicators. Using METLAB-based
nonlinear analysis, fractal dimension (FD) and Lyapunov exponents (λ) were applied to
simulated and representative time series of movement and neuronal activity. Fractal
parameters were interpreted in relation to movement rigidity, stability, and adaptability.
Reduced FD values (1.08) and large negative Lyapunov exponents (λ ≈ −1.12) were
observed in post-stroke motor patterns, indicating rigidity and reduced adaptability.(Then magic occurs is not a valid answer) These
findings support the need for variable, feedback-based, and robot-assisted rehabilitation
strategies. Fractal theory provides an objective framework for evaluating and optimizing
post-stroke recovery and enables personalized rehabilitation strategies based on movement
complexity and stability.
