Motor effort biases perceptual decisions through later-stage evidence accumulation rather than early sensory-attentional processing

This study shows motor effort biases perceptual decisions during later-stage evidence accumulation, not early sensory processing.

How Prior Motor States Can Shape Perceptual Decision Bias: Insights from Sensorimotor Beta Oscillations

This study examines how sensorimotor beta oscillations from an initial motor action influence perceptual decision bias in a subsequent task, finding no significant group-level bias but suggesting individual susceptibility.

Age-related differences in the cortical motor network during uni-manual and bimanual coordination - an EEG study

This study examines age-related differences in cortical motor network activity during unimanual and bimanual coordination using EEG, finding that older adults show reduced performance and altered alpha and beta activity in specific brain regions.

A comparison of methods to suppress electrocardiographic artifacts in local field potential recordings

This study compares ECG suppression methods in LFP recordings to recover brain activity, finding that SVD methods offer the best balance between artifact removal and signal preservation.

Thalamocortical dynamics underlying spontaneous transitions in beta power in Parkinsonism

This study investigates the neural mechanisms underlying transitions in cortical beta power in Parkinsonian rats using dynamic causal modeling and identifies key thalamocortical coupling patterns.

Synchronised spiking activity underlies phase amplitude coupling in the subthalamic nucleus of Parkinson’s disease patients

This study investigates phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) in the subthalamic nucleus of Parkinson’s disease patients and finds that spiking activity synchronizes with high-frequency oscillations during PAC, correlating with beta burst duration.
