“…Sensorimotor tasks (Pineda, 2005), motor action execution, inhibition, and observation (Gastaut, 1952;Howe and Sterman, 1972;Niedermeyer and Lopes da Silva, 1993) are reflected in such mu oscillations. Additionally, both intracranial electrophysiology (Gastaut and Bert, 1954;Mukamel et al, 2010;Tremblay et al, 2004) and surface EEG (Cochin et al, 1999(Cochin et al, , 1998 consistently show comparable mu rhythm suppression during both the execution and the observation of different movements.…”

Although we feel, see, and experience our hands as our own (body or hand ownership), recent research has shown that illusory hand ownership can be induced for fake or virtual hands and may be useful for neuroprosthetics and brain-computer interfaces. Despite the vast amount of behavioral data on illusory hand ownership, neuroimaging studies are rare, in particular electrophysiological studies. Thus, while the neural systems underlying hand ownership are relatively well described, the spectral signatures of body ownership as measured by electroencephalography (EEG) remain elusive. Here we induced illusory hand ownership in an automated, computer-controlled manner using virtual reality while recording 64-channel EEG and found that illusory hand ownership is reflected by a body-specific modulation in the mu-band over fronto-parietal cortex. In a second experiment in the same subjects, we then show that mu as well as beta-band activity in highly similar fronto-parietal regions was also modulated during a motor imagery task often used in paradigms employing non-invasive brain-computer interface technology. These data provide insights into the electrophysiological brain mechanisms of illusory hand ownership and their strongly overlapping mechanisms with motor imagery in fronto-parietal cortex. They also highlight the potential of combining high-resolution EEG with virtual reality setups and automatized stimulation protocols for systematic, reproducible stimulus presentation in cognitive neuroscience, and may inform the design of non-invasive brain-computer interfaces.

“…This suggested that SMR training had kept the SMR animal from experiencing seizures (Sterman et al, 1969). Further studies by Sterman and others showed that the SMR rhythm originates from the thalamus in the ventrobasal nuclei (nVB; Howe & Sterman, 1972). The nVB is concerned with conducting afferent somatosensory information.…”

“…Evoked response studies have indicated a specific facilitation of sensory transmission in the first synapse of the somatosensory pathway (the dorsal column nuclei) during production of the SMR (Howe and Sterman, 1972). Functionally, this finding suggests that the animal is focusing attention upon somatosensory input during this state.…”

“…It occurs exclusively during absence of spontaneous or trained motor activity. Neurophysiological studies have indicated that the SMR was generated by a thalamocortical circuit involving the nucleus ventralis posterolateralis and its projections 1 to somatosensory cortex (Howe and Sterman, 1972).…”

“…As has been previously described (Howe and Sterman, 1972), the 12 -14 Hz component of spontaneous brain electrical activity recorded from the somatosensory cortex was reinforced using electronic circuits designed to filter, rectify and integrate activity within the frequency range. These circuits were employed to operate devices for the delivery of positive reward, consisting either of small quantities of milk or electrical stimulation to the lateral hypothalamus, when the integrated voltage output reached a predetermined level.…”
