Summary
Voluntary limb movements are preceded by MEG shifts beginning even as early as 1.2 s before the movement. These shifts reverse polarity above the cortical motor representation area of the limb concerned.
Riassunto
I movimenti volontari degli arti sono preceduti da spostamenti MEG che cominciano già 1.2s prima del movimento. Questi spostamenti invertono la polarità sull’area di rappresentazione della corteccia motoria dell’arto in questione.
