“…In this sense, it has been proposed that the rolandic alpha ERD reflects the unspecific activation of sensorimotor areas, while the beta ERD signals a relatively more focal motor recruitment (Pfurtscheller & Da Silva, 1999;Pfurtscheller, Pregenzer, & Neuper, 1994). In fact, specific sensorimotor regions recruited during speech production are also activated during speech listening (Fadiga, Craighero, Buccino, & Rizzolatti, 2002;Watkins et al, 2003;D'Ausilio et al, 2014) and the perturbation of these sensorimotor centers affects speech discrimination performance (Meister, Wilson, Deblieck, Wu, & Iacoboni, 2007;D'Ausilio et al, 2009;D'Ausilio, Bufalari, Salmas, & Fadiga, 2012;Bartoli et al, 2015;Möttönen & Watkins, 2009).
