This study examines intermuscular coupling between tongue and palate EMG signals during swallowing, mastication, and speech, finding significant ERC peaks in all frequency bands before task onset, with beta band ERC higher for swallowing than mastication.

This study evaluates functional localization of the tongue's primary sensorimotor cortex using deep learning-assisted motion capture, showing comparable results to accelerometers with reduced artifacts.

The paper investigates motor and sensory neural processing during swallowing using intracranial electrodes, finding distinct phase-amplitude coupling patterns in the orofacial cortex.

This study uses intracranial EEG to analyze high gamma and beta band oscillations during swallowing phases, identifying distinct neural activities associated with mouth-opening, water-injection, and swallowing.
