Abstract

This paper investigated the correlations between motor imagery of swallow (MI-SW) and motor imagery of tongue movements (MI-Ton), and correlations between MI-SW and actual swallow (Act-SW). EEG data of 10 healthy subjects and one dysphagia patient were collected and analyzed. The group analysis results of using bin-based spectral power demonstrated that MI-SW and MI-Ton, and MI-SW and Act-SW were strongly correlated (p-value < 0.001, examined at ‘C3’) for both mu and low beta frequency bands. Further, the correlation was weaken but still significant for MI-SW and Act-SW (p-value < 0.05), and MI-SW and MI-Ton (p-value < 0.01) for the dysphagia patient. These results validated the use of MI-SW and MI-Ton for dysphagia rehabilitation.
