Frontal functional connectivity of electrocorticographic delta and theta rhythms during action execution versus action observation in humans
We have previously shown that in seven drug-resistant epilepsy patients, both reachinggrasping
of objects and the mere observation of those actions did desynchronize
subdural electrocorticographic (ECoG) alpha (8–13 Hz) and beta (14–30) rhythms as
a sign of cortical activation in primary somatosensory-motor, lateral premotor and
ventral prefrontal areas (Babiloni et al., 2016a). Furthermore, that desynchronization was
greater during action execution than during its observation. In the present exploratory
