Role of the occipito-temporal Theta rhythm in hand visual identification
Neuroimaging and EEG studies have shown that passive observation of the full body and of specific body parts is associated with: 1) activity of an occipito-temporal region named the Extrastriate Body Area (EBA), 2) amplitude modulations of a specific posterior ERP component (N1/N190), and 3) a theta-band (4-7Hz) synchronization recorded from occipito-temporal electrodes compatible with the location of EBA.
