Abstract
The neurophysiological techniques that can induce plasticity or simply modulate cortical excitability or produce interference with normal brain activity and behavior are known as neuromodulation techniques. The interest in using neuromodulation techniques in neurorehabilitation has sharply increased in the last years. I will briefly introduce non-invasive neuromodulation techniques, discuss the rationale for their use in neurorehabilitation, and address the problem of choosing the optimal technique for a given purpose.
