Description
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the power spectrum coherence of the gamma band during the resting state, actual motor movement, and imagined motor movement. Methods: This laboratory-based comparative analytic observational investigation was conducted at S.M.S. Medical College and Attached Hospitals in Jaipur. A total of 56 healthy males between the ages of 18 and 40 were recruited from Jaipur city. The gamma band coherence was recorded by EEG for resting, real, and imaginary motor tasks and the coherence was compared. The gamma coherence power was analyzed. The significance was set at p-value<0.05. Results: Different brain regions, with the exception of the C3-C4 central region, exhibited good inter-spectral coherence-based connectivity when comparing the baseline coherence value with real and imagined movements. Conclusion: The coherence of gamma power shows no significant difference between resting, motor, and imagined movement, except in the central region, suggesting a high level of synchronization all over the brain areas.
