| (1) Time-frequency analyses will be applied to calculate MEG power in a given frequency band (beta), over a given timeinterval for a given group of sensors. Mean beta-power will be calculated for each group and compared between groups. (2) Coherence between MEG signals recorded over motorcortex and EMG signals recorded at the right first dorsal interosseus (FDI) muscle will be calculated. Mean coherence for a given time and frequency interval will be calculated for each group and comparisons will be made. | — |
