Semantics in the motor system: motor-cortical beta oscillations reflect semantic knowledge of end-postures for object use

Semantics in the motor system: motor-cortical beta oscillations reflect semantic knowledge of end-postures for object use

In the present EEG study we investigated whether semantic knowledge for object use is represented in motor-related brain areas. Subjects were required to perform actions with everyday objects and to maintain either a meaningful or a meaningless end posture with the object. Analysis of the EEG data f...
