    Summary

    Brain and muscle signal correlation, or functional coupling, is highest during real hand grasping and intention tasks. Motor imagery and visual tasks showed significantly lower brain-muscle correlation, highlighting task-dependent coupling.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Motor Control

    Background:

    • Functional coupling describes the correlation between brain and muscle signals.
    • The degree of this coupling is influenced by the specific motor task being performed.
    • Understanding EEG-EMG relationships is crucial for advancing neuroprosthetics and rehabilitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) signals during various motor tasks.
    • To compare linear and nonlinear coupling methods in quantifying EEG-EMG relationships.
    • To determine how different motor tasks (real movement, intention, imagery, observation) affect functional coupling.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental paradigm included four tasks: real hand grasping (RM), movement intention (Inten), motor imagery (MI), and observing a virtual hand (OL).
    • EEG and EMG signals were recorded during task performance.
    • Linear (coherence) and nonlinear (mutual information) methods were employed to analyze signal correlation.

    Main Results:

    • High EEG-EMG correlation (both linear and nonlinear) was observed in RM and Inten tasks.
    • Coherence was prominent in beta and gamma bands for RM and Inten tasks; MI and OL tasks showed minimal coherence.
    • Mutual information was significantly higher in RM and Inten tasks compared to MI and OL tasks, with contralateral cortex showing higher coherence.

    Conclusions:

    • EEG-EMG functional coupling strength varies significantly based on the type of motor task.
    • Real movements and movement intentions exhibit stronger coupling than motor imagery or visual observation.
    • Findings provide insights into the neural mechanisms underlying motor control and task-specific brain-muscle interactions.
