Viewing Motion Animations During Motor Imagery: Effects on EEG Rhythms
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mu rhythm is an 8-13 Hz oscillation which can be detected over human sensorimotor cortex in brain signals such as the electroencephalogram (EEG). This rhythm is desynchronized by movement, observing the movement of others, and imagined self movement [3]. In this study we combine motor imagery and movement observation. We show that the majority of subjects tested produce an enhanced mu desynchronization over sensorimotor cortex when motor imagery and movement observation are combined, compared to motor imagery alone.

Motor Imagery Classification Using Mu and Beta Rhythms of EEG with Strong Uncorrelating Transform Based Complex Common Spatial Patterns
Recent studies have demonstrated the disassociation between the mu and beta rhythms of electroencephalogram (EEG) during motor imagery tasks. The proposed algorithm in this paper uses a fully data-driven multivariate empirical mode decomposition (MEMD) in order to obtain the mu and beta rhythms from the nonlinear EEG signals. Then, the strong uncorrelating transform complex common spatial patte...
متن کاملDesign of electrode layout for motor imagery based brain–computer interface
Introduction: A motor imagery based brain–computer interface (BCI) translates a subject’s motor intention into a command signal through real-time detection of motor imagery states, e.g. imagination of left and right hand movement. During motor imagery, electroencephalogram (EEG) signals accompany power changes in movement related m (8–12 Hz) and b (18–26 Hz) rhythms, representing a power increa...
متن کاملAn Analysis of the Effect of EEG Frequency Bands on the Classification of Motor Imagery Signals
The EEG frequency bands are brain rhythms that indicate the activity level of the brain. This paper investigates the effects of the sub-band frequency on the classification of motor imagery of hand movements. Ten sub-bands of 10Hz width between 0 to 100 Hz are chosen. Band power features of the sub-bands are classified using a neural classifier. Motor imagery signals recorded from the C3 and C4...
متن کاملBrain activity evoked by inverted and imagined biological motion
Previous imaging research has identified an area on the human posterior superior temporal sulcus (STS) activated upon viewing biological motion. The current experiments explore the relationship between neural activity within this region and perceptual experience. Biological motion perception is orientation dependent: inverting point-light animations make them more difficult to see. We measured ...
متن کاملMotor imagery and action observation: modulation of sensorimotor brain rhythms during mental control of a brain-computer interface.
OBJECTIVE This study investigates the impact of a continuously presented visual feedback in the form of a grasping hand on the modulation of sensorimotor EEG rhythms during online control of a brain-computer interface (BCI). METHODS Two groups of participants were trained to use left or right hand motor imagery to control a specific output signal on a computer monitor: the experimental group ...
