simulated vocalization with delayed auditory feedback, simulated vocalization under loud noise, andsilent reading. The authors define 'mu-rhythm' as a decrease of power in 8-16Hz EEG during the task period.
We studied the reactivity of EEG rhythms (mu rhythms) in association with the imagination of right hand, left hand, foot, and tongue movement with 60 EEG electrodes in nine able-bodied subjects. During hand motor imagery, the hand mu rhythm blocked or desynchronized in all subjects, whereas ...
Initial evidence based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) suggests that the MNS plays a role in emotion classification, but further confirmation and convergent evidence is needed. This study employed electroencephalography (EEG) to examine modulations in the mu rhythm associated with the ...
Of 5, 218 patients who received EEG examination at our laboratory during a 9-month period in 1989, 241 showed the 7-13 Hz arch-shaped activity originating from over the Rolandic area known as mu rhythm. These subjects were divided into two groups as follows: Group 1, 171 subjects showing...
Over SM1 areas, one particular brain rhythm called the “mu rhythm” can typically be recorded with MEG or EEG at rest (Fig. 2). This rhythm is characterized by a comb-like shape, which implies that it is composed of 2 main frequency components with a nearly harmonic relationship [9], ...
Among the neurophysiological signals that may be studied by EEG and MEG, the mu rhythm, first described by Henri Gastaut in 1952, is of particular interest in CP because it reflects the neural activity of the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex. Several review papers focused on the characteristics...
EEG-Based Mu Rhythm Suppression to Measure the Effects of Appearance and Motion on Perceived Human Likeness of a Robot We performed two electroencephalogram (EEG) experiments to examine how humanoid robot appearance and motion affect human subjects' perception of the robots...

Premature birth provides a "natural condition" for investigating the effects of early, atypical extra-uterine experience on MNS. The main aim of the present study was to investigate whether the MNS activity is associated with prematurity. We compared the mu rhythm activity in preterm (PT) and ...
With proper training, individuals can learn to modulate the amplitude of specific electroencephalographic (EEG) components (e.g., the 8-12 Hz mu rhythm and 18-26 Hz beta rhythm) over the sensorimotor cortex and use them to control a cursor on a computer screen. Conventional spectral ...
Prior studies show that neurofeedback training (NFT) of mu rhythms improves behavior and EEG mu rhythm suppression during action observation in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, intellectually impaired persons were excluded because of their behavioral challenges. We aimed to determi...
