EEG mu rhythm in typical and atypical development.
Electroencephalography (EEG) is an effective, efficient, and noninvasive method of assessing and recording brain activity. Given the excellent temporal resolution, EEG can be used to examine the neural response related to specific behaviors, states, or external stimuli. An example of this utility is the assessment of the mirror neuron system (MNS) in humans through the examination of the EEG mu...
متن کاملThe role of imitation in the observed heterogeneity in EEG mu rhythm in autism and typical development.
Dysfunction in an execution/observation matching system, or mirror neuron system, has been proposed to contribute to the social deficits observed in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Atypical activity in this system, as reflected in attenuation of the EEG mu rhythm, has been demonstrated in several studies; however, normative patterns of activity have been evident in other ASD samples. The curren...

Disruptions in the mirror neuron system (MNS) have been suggested to play a key role in the core social deficits observed in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). EEG mu rhythm suppression during the observation of biological actions is believed to reflect MNS functioning but understanding of the developmental progression of the MNS and EEG mu rhythm in both typical and atypical development is lacki...
متن کاملDevelopment of mu rhythm in infants and preschool children.
Mu rhythm is an idling rhythm that originates in the sensorimotor cortex during rest. The frequency of mu rhythm, which is well established in adults, is 8-12 Hz, whereas the limited results available from children suggest a frequency as low as 5.4 Hz at 6 months of age, which gradually increases to the adult value. Understanding the normal development of mu rhythm has important theoretical and...
متن کاملThe mirror mechanism and mu rhythm in social development.
Since the discovery of mirror neurons (MNs) in the monkey there has been a renewed interest in motor theories of cognitive and social development in humans by providing a potential neural mechanism underlying an action observation/execution matching system. It has been proposed that this system plays a fundamental role in the development of complex social and cognitive behaviors such as imitati...
