It is now commonly accepted that planning and execution of movements are based on distributed processing by neuronal populations in motor cortical areas. It is less clear, though, how these… (More)
Since the first descriptions of sensorimotor rhythms by Berger (1929) and by Jasper and Penfield (1949), the potential role of beta oscillations (~13-30 Hz) in the brain has been intensely… (More)
In earlier studies we developed the 'Unitary Events' analysis (Grün S. Unitary Joint-Events in Multiple-Neuron Spiking Activity: Detection, Significance and Interpretation. Reihe Physik, Band 60.… (More)
We investigated the dynamics of neuronal activity related to sensorimotor transformation during single experimental trials of a given stimulus-response (S-R) association task. A monkey was trained to… (More)
We propose a method for the time-resolved joint analysis of two related aspects of single neuron variability, the spiking irregularity measured by the squared coefficient of variation (CV(2)) of the… (More)
1. This study was devoted to the neuronal processes underlying the construction of the motor program. Two monkeys were trained in a choice reaction time task to perform precise wrist flexion and… (More)
Movement preparation is considered to be based on central processes which are responsible for improving motor performance. For instance, it has been shown that motor cortical neurones change their… (More)
 Common to most correlation analysis techniques for neuronal spiking activity are assumptions of stationarity with respect to various parameters. However, experimental data may fail to be compatible… (More)
While oscillations of the local field potential (LFP) are commonly attributed to the synchronization of neuronal firing rate on the same time scale, their relationship to coincident spiking in the… (More)
Precise timing is essential for motor performance, though the neuronal representation of time is unknown. To explore neuronal correlates of timing processes during movement preparation and execution,… (More)
