Changes in rolandic mu rhythm during observation of a precision grip
Abstract
We recorded 128‐channel EEG from 16 participants while they observed, imitated, and self‐initiated the precision grip of a manipulandum. Mu rhythm amplitudes were significantly lower during observation of a precision grip than during observation of a simple hand extension without object interaction. Scalp topographies for subtractions of observation, imitation, and execution conditions from the control condition showed a high degree of congruence, supporting the notion of a human observation–execution matching system. Surface Laplacian transformations suggest that the decrease in mu amplitude during precision grip observation reflects desynchronization of mu rhythm generators in the sensorimotor cortex. These results support the hypothesis that sensorimotor cortex is a neural substrate involved in the representation of both self‐ and other‐generated actions and show the mu rhythm is sensitive to subtle changes in observed motor behavior.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
