Modulation of Corticomuscular Coupling With Split‐Belt Locomotor Adaptation in Healthy Young Males
This study demonstrated that alpha and beta corticomuscular coherence (CMC) between the sensorimotor region and tibialis anterior muscle temporarily decreased upon the onset and removal of split‐belt perturbation. Subsequently, alpha CMC increased during adaptation, and both alpha and beta CMC increased during post‐adaptation.
