Mu rhythm desynchronization by tongue thrust observation [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 We aimed to investigate the mu rhythm in the sensorimotor area during tongue thrust observation and to obtain an answer to the question as to how subtle non-verbal orofacial movement observation activates the sensorimotor area.

Mu rhythm desynchronization reveals motoric influences of hand action on object recognition [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 We examined the effect of hand grip on object recognition by studying the modulation of the mu rhythm when participants made object decisions to objects and non-objects shown with congruent or incongruent hand-grip actions.

Enhanced mirroring upon mutual gaze: multimodal evidence from TMS-assessed corticospinal excitability and the EEG mu rhythm [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 Previous research has demonstrated that eye contact between actor and observer specifically enhances the ‘mirroring’ of others’ actions, as measured by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-induced motor evoked potentials (MEPs).

Time-frequency and ERP analyses of EEG to characterize anticipatory postural adjustments in a bimanual load-lifting task [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2011 Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) compensate in advance for the destabilizing effect of a movement. This study investigated the specific involvement of each primary motor cortex (M1) during a bimanual load-lifting task in which subjects were ...

Mu-Rhythm Phase Modulates Cortical Reactivity to Subthreshold TMS: A TMS–EEG Study [PDF]
BioengineeringBackground: The phase of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals critically influences cortical reactivity to external inputs. Phase-dependent effects and their sensitivity to stimulation intensity have been observed at suprathreshold levels, while ...

Differences in Mu rhythm when seeing grasping/motor actions in a real context versus on screens [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMu rhythm (∼8–12 Hz) in the somatosensory cortex has traditionally been linked with doing and seeing motor activities. Here, we aimed to learn how the medium (physical or screened) in which motor actions are seen could impact on that specific brain ...

Sensorimotor mu rhythm during action observation changes across the lifespan independently from social cognitive processes [PDF]
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2019 The observation of actions performed by another person activates parts of the brain as if the observer were performing that action, referred to as the ‘mirror system’. Very little is currently known about the developmental trajectory of the mirror system

Electroencephalography Mu Rhythm Changes and Decreased Spasticity After Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation in Patients Following Stroke [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2020 Background: Spasticity is common among patients with stroke. Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) is a painless and noninvasive therapy that is a promising approach to reducing spasticity.

Audio-vocal monitoring system revealed by mu-rhythm activity
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying speech production has a number of potential practical applications. Speech production involves multiple feedback loops. An audio-vocal monitoring system plays an important role in speech production, based on

Effects of Motor Imagery Tasks on Brain Functional Networks Based on EEG Mu/Beta Rhythm [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022 Motor imagery (MI) refers to the mental rehearsal of movement in the absence of overt motor action, which can activate or inhibit cortical excitability.
