“…Low T3-Fz coherence is thought to reflect less dependence on explicit processes for motor performance (see Deeny, Hillman, Janelle, & Hatfield, 2003;Zhu, Poolton, Wilson, Maxwell, & Masters, 2011b). As such, expert marksmen displayed lower EEG T3-Fz coherence than less skilled shooters (Deeny et al, 2003) and novice golfers who used an implicit motor learning paradigm (Masters, 1992;Maxwell, Masters, Kerr, & Weedon, 2001) displayed lower EEG T3-Fz coherence than more explicit learners (Zhu et al, 2011b). In a recent study that modified the continuous 24 tracking task paradigm for laparoscopic surgical skills training, T3-Fz alpha power coherence was greater when participants were made aware of the repeated waveform pattern compared to when participants were not, suggesting that T3-Fz alpha power coherence reflects the use of explicit knowledge of characteristics of the pattern to support tracking performance (Zhu et al, 2011a).…”
