Functional neurosurgery in patients with movement disorders has provided a unique
opportunity to record directly form the human basal ganglia (BG) and to thereby further our …

The ease with which we perform tasks such as opening the lid of a jar, in which the two
hands execute quite different actions, belies the fact that there is a strong tendency for the …

Adaptive deep brain stimulation uses feedback about the state of neural circuits to control
stimulation rather than delivering fixed stimulation all the time, as currently performed. In …

Any motor action results from a dynamic interplay of various brain regions involved in
different aspects of movement preparation and execution. Establishing a reliable model of …

Paradigms requiring either a GO or a NO-GO response are often used to study the neural
mechanisms of response inhibition. Here this issue is examined from the perspective of …

The way in which we move influences our ability to perceive, interpret and predict the
actions of others. Thus movements play an important role in social cognition. This review …

Background The observation of action done by others determines a desynchronization of the
rhythms recorded from cortical central regions. Here, we examined whether the observation …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses a source reconstruction approach, beamforming,
which was only recently introduced to electroencephalography (EEG) and …

In spite of its importance as a life-defining rhythmic movement and its constant rhythmic
contraction and relaxation of the body, respiration has not received attention in Embodied …

Exaggerated activity in the beta band (13–35 Hz) is a hallmark of basal ganglia signals in
patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Beta activity however is not constantly elevated, but …
