This study will look at the effects of a painless, non-invasive form of brain stimulation, called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS. tDCS is thought to increase the brain's ability to change. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups by chance. One group will receive tDCS at a level expected to increase the brain's ability to change, while the other group will receive tDCS at a level not thought to affect the brain's ability to change. All participants will receive intensive therapy of their more impaired arm and hand, focusing on exercises that are meaningful to him/her.
