Proprioceptive response strength in the primary sensorimotor cortex is invariant to the range of finger movement
Available online 13 February 2023 Proprioception is the sense of body position and movement that relies on afference from the proprioceptors in muscles and joints. Proprioceptive responses in the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex can be elicited by stim- ulating the proprioceptors using evoked (passive) limb movements. In magnetoencephalography (MEG), propri- oceptive processing can be quantified by recording the movement evoked fields (MEFs) and movement-induced beta power modulations or by computing corticokinematic coherence (CKC) between the limb kinematics and cortical activity. We examined whether cortical proprioceptive processing quantified with MEF peak strength, relative beta supp…
Feasibility and reproducibility of electroencephalography-based corticokinematic coherence
Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) is the phase coupling between limb kinematics and cortical neurophysiological signals, reflecting cortical processing of proprioceptive afference, and it is reproducible when estimated with magnetoencephalography (MEG). However, feasibility and reproducibility of CKC based on electroencephalography (EEG) is still unclear and is the primary object of the present report. Thirteen healthy right-handed volunteers (seven females, 21.7 ± 4.3 yr) participated in two combined MEG/EEG sessions 12.6 ± 1.3 mo apart. Participants' dominant and nondominant index finger was continuously moved at 3 Hz for 4 min separately using a pneumatic-movement actuator. Coherence was …
