N2 - How does our brain manage to process vast quantities of sensory
information that define movement performance? By extracting the required
movement parameters for which brain dynamics are, inter alia, assumed
to be functionally related to, we used electroencephalography to
investigate motor-related brain oscillations. Visually guided movement
(i.e., motor) tasks at explosive, medium and slow rates of force
development (RFD) revealed increased broad-band activity at explosive
RFD, whereas decreasing activity could be observed during both
intermediate and slow RFD. Moreover, a continuously decreasing activity
pattern from faster to slower RFD and a return to baseline activity
after full muscle relaxation was found. We suggest oscillatory activity
to desynchronize in sensorimotor demanding tasks, whereas task-specific
synchronization mirrors movement acceleration. The pre/post-stimulus
activity steady state may indicate an inhibitory baseline that provides
attentional focus and timing.
