EEG beta-power changes reflect motor involvement in abstract action language processing.
Brain oscillations in the α- and β-range become suppressed during motor processing and motor imagery. It has recently been discussed that such power changes also occur during action language processing. In our study, we compared β2-oscillations (16-25Hz) during the observation of prototypical arm movements (revealed via motion tracking) as well as during semantic processing of concrete and abst...
متن کاملProcessing abstract language modulates motor system activity.
Embodiment theory proposes that neural systems for perception and action are also engaged during language comprehension. Previous neuroimaging and neurophysiological studies have only been able to demonstrate modulation of action systems during comprehension of concrete language. We provide neurophysiological evidence for modulation of motor system activity during the comprehension of both conc...
متن کاملSentential Context Modulates the Involvement of the Motor Cortex in Action Language Processing: An fMRI Study
Theories of embodied cognition propose that language comprehension is based on perceptual and motor processes. More specifically, it is hypothesized that neurons processing verbs describing bodily actions, and those that process the corresponding physical actions, fire simultaneously during action verb learning. Thus the concept and motor activation become strongly linked. According to this vie...
متن کاملAge-related changes in oscillatory power affect motor action
With increasing age cognitive performance slows down. This includes cognitive processes essential for motor performance. Additionally, performance of motor tasks becomes less accurate. The objective of the present study was to identify general neural correlates underlying age-related behavioral slowing and the reduction in motor task accuracy. To this end, we continuously recorded EEG activity ...
متن کاملEEG alpha power changes reflect response inhibition deficits after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in humans.
Brain damage due to traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been associated with deficits in executive functions and the dynamic control of behaviour. Event-related brain potentials and spectral power data were recorded from eight TBI participants and eight matched controls while they completed a Go/NoGo response inhibition task. The TBI group was found to be significantly impaired at the task compare...
