Cover Story: One of the main limitations in the analysis of EEG signals during movement is the presence of artefacts due to cranial muscle contraction; there are two main aspects: validating a tool capable of decreasing movement artefacts, while developing a reliable method for the quantitative analysis of EEG data and using this method to analyse the EEG signal recorded during a particular motor activity. In the image, you can see a montage of the 16 EEG channels with monopolar reference and the statistically significant differences (coloured electrodes) between the eyes open (left figures) and eyes closed (right figures) condition in three postural tasks: seated position (top), standing with two-legged support (centre), and standing with single-legged support (bottom) for PSD variable. The procedure used showed excellent reliability, allowing for a significant decrease in movement artefacts. View this paper
