“…Indeed, the distinctive contribution of a tangential P30-N30 dipole situated in area 3b and the other oscillating generators of the N30 located outside of the somatosensory cortex and revealed in the present paper are not technically possible as LORETA selects the pattern of activation showing the smoothest solution which best matches best the whole topographical voltage distribution at the latency of the N30 phenomenon. The present localization study corroborates the idea that the N30 wave reflects a first stage in sensorimotor integration processes (Cheron et al, 2000;Hallett, 2000;Rossi et al, 2002;Rossini et al, 1999). This hypothesis is also supported by a wealth of clinical reports (Abbruzzese and Berardelli, 2003;Berardelli et al, 1998;Cheron et al, 1994;Frasson et al, 2001;Murase et al, 2000;Reilly et al, 1992;Rossi et al, 2005;Rossini et al, 1998;Ulivelli et al, 1999) and peculiar physiological behaviors of the N30 wave (Cebolla et al, 2009;Cheron andBorenstein, 1987, 1992;Rossi et al, 2002;Urushihara et al, 2006).…”
