Imagery of motor movement plays an important role in learning of complex motor skills, from learning to serve in tennis to perfecting a pirouette in ballet. What and where are the neural substrates that underlie motor imagery-based learning? We measured electrocorticographic cortical surface potentials in eight human subjects during overt action and kinesthetic imagery of the same movement, focusing on power in "high frequency" (76-100 Hz) and "low frequency" (8-32 Hz) ranges. We quantitatively establish that the spatial distribution of local neuronal population activity during motor imagery mimics the spatial distribution of activity during actual motor movement. By comparing responses to electrocortical stimulation with imagery-induced cortical surface activity, we demonstrate the role of primary motor areas in movement imagery. The magnitude of imagery-induced cortical activity change was approximately 25% of that associated with actual movement. However, when subjects learned to use this imagery to control a computer cursor in a simple feedback task, the imagery-induced activity change was significantly augmented, even exceeding that of overt movement.

The paradigm consisted of several stages: baseline recording, hand and tongue motor tasks as the basis for feature selection, two closed-loop one-dimensional feedback experiments with each of these features, and a two-dimensional feedback experiment using both of the features simultaneously. The two selected features were simple channel and frequency band combinations associated with change during hand and tongue movement. Inter-feature correlation and cross-correlation between features during different epochs of each task were quantified for each stage of the experiment. Our anecdotal, three subject, result suggests that while high correlation between horizontal and vertical control signal can initially preclude successful two-dimensional cursor control, a feedback-based learning strategy can be successfully employed by the subject to overcome this limitation and progressively decorrelate these control signals.10aAdolescent10aAdult10aAlgorithms10aElectrocardiography10aEvoked Potentials, Motor10aFemale10aHumans10aMale10aMiddle Aged10aMotor Cortex10aPattern Recognition, Automated10aStatistics as Topic10aTask Performance and Analysis10aUser-Computer Interface1 aMiller, John, W1 aBlakely, Timothy1 aSchalk, Gerwin1 aNijs, Marcel1 aRao, Rajesh, P N1 aOjemann, J G uhttps://www.neurotechcenter.org/publications/2008/three-cases-feature-correlation-electrocorticographic-bci02238nas a2200325 4500008004100000022001400041245007500055210006900130260001200199300001200211490000700223520137400230653001001604653001801614653001101632653001101643653000901654653001601663653001701679653001301696100002001709700001901729700001901748700002101767700002601788700001301814700002001827700001701847856004801864 2007 eng d a1529-240100aSpectral Changes in Cortical Surface Potentials During Motor Movement.0 aSpectral Changes in Cortical Surface Potentials During Motor Mov c02/2007 a2424-320 v273 a

In the first large study of its kind, we quantified changes in electrocorticographic signals associated with motor movement across 22 subjects with subdural electrode arrays placed for identification of seizure foci. Patients underwent a 5-7 d monitoring period with array placement, before seizure focus resection, and during this time they participated in the study. An interval-based motor-repetition task produced consistent and quantifiable spectral shifts that were mapped on a Talairach-standardized template cortex. Maps were created independently for a high-frequency band (HFB) (76-100 Hz) and a low-frequency band (LFB) (8-32 Hz) for several different movement modalities in each subject. The power in relevant electrodes consistently decreased in the LFB with movement, whereas the power in the HFB consistently increased. In addition, the HFB changes were more focal than the LFB changes. Sites of power changes corresponded to stereotactic locations in sensorimotor cortex and to the results of individual clinical electrical cortical mapping. Sensorimotor representation was found to be somatotopic, localized in stereotactic space to rolandic cortex, and typically followed the classic homunculus with limited extrarolandic representation.
