The effects of visual stimuli on EEG mu rhythms in healthy adults.
Journal of Physical Therapy Science 2016 June
[Purpose] Several action observation/imagery training studies have been conducted in patients with limited physical activity showing improvements in motor function. However, most studies compared effects of action observation and imagery, so little is known about the changes caused by subsequent observation of target objects. Moreover, few studies analyzed brain wave changes in the EEG mu rhythm. [Subjects and Methods] Eighteen healthy female adults participated in this study, and were divided into two groups: 'Visual Stimuli' and 'Non-Visual Stimuli'. EEG amplitude in the 8-13 Hz frequency band over the sensorimotor cortex was evaluated. [Results] Significant mu suppression was obtained in the action observation trials. Mu power showed a main effect of visual stimuli, with decreased power during action observation, and increased power post-observation in both conditions. Comparing the 'Visual Stimuli' and 'Non-Visual Stimuli' conditions during the post-observation period, mu power demonstrated a greater increase in the 'Non-Visual Stimuli' condition. Furthermore, mu power was lower post-observation than pre-observation. [Conclusion] These results show the effects of visual input between maintaining target objects and no visual input, and their relevance to modulations of the mirror neuron system. It also suggests that greater visual input may be more effective for cognitive rehabilitation.
