Movement Type Prediction before Its Onset Using Signals from Prefrontal Area: An Electrocorticography Study
Figure 1
Brain models and projected electrode locations for all subjects (a). Some electrodes are not shown because they were located on invisible sites or excluded by epileptic activities. All selected electrodes of each subject are marked with an asterisk, square, and triangle on the reconstructed brain models. These three black shapes represent electrodes within the implanted areas: asterisk (primary sensorimotor area), square (premotor and supplementary motor areas), and triangle (prefrontal area). Results of FFT analysis for selected electrodes of Subject 1 (A) and Subject 2 (B) (b). The FFT results of the prefrontal area (triangle) show a distinct difference between the two movement types in the beta range. The y-axis has a log power scale (dB). The gray horizontal line shows a region of pronounced power differences and indicates a selected frequency band. Blue and red lines represent the hand grasping and elbow flexion movement types, respectively.
