The ups and downs of beta oscillations in sensorimotor cortex

BE Kilavik, M Zaepffel, A Brovelli, WA MacKay… - Experimental …, 2013 - Elsevier
Since the first descriptions of sensorimotor rhythms by Berger (1929) and by Jasper and

MEG studies of sensorimotor rhythms: a review

DO Cheyne - Experimental neurology, 2013 - Elsevier

Beta-band activity during motor planning reflects response uncertainty

C Tzagarakis, NF Ince, AC Leuthold… - Journal of …, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience

Modulations of EEG beta power during planning and execution of grasping movements

M Zaepffel, R Trachel, BE Kilavik, T Brochier - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Although beta oscillations (≈ 13–35 Hz) are often considered as a sensorimotor rhythm,
their functional role remains debated. In particular, the modulations of beta power during …

Neuromagnetic imaging of movement-related cortical oscillations in children and adults: age predicts post-movement beta rebound

W Gaetz, M Macdonald, D Cheyne, OC Snead - Neuroimage, 2010 - Elsevier
We measured visually-cued motor responses in two developmentally separate groups of
children and compared these responses to a group of adults. We hypothesized that if post …

Lateralization of event-related beta desynchronization in the EEG during pre-cued reaction time tasks

LMF Doyle, K Yarrow, P Brown - Clinical Neurophysiology, 2005 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVE: Here, we investigate whether the event-related desynchronization (ERD) of
spectral components of the cortical EEG in the beta (13–30Hz) frequency range may, in part …

Movement‐related frequency modulation of beta oscillatory activity in the human subthalamic nucleus

G Foffani, AM Bianchi, G Baselli… - The Journal of …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
