EEG beta-modulations reflect age-specific motor resource allocation during dual-task walking

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The parallel execution of two motor tasks can lead to performance decrements in either one or both of the tasks. Age-related declines can further magnify the underlying competition for cognitive resources.
