Age-related differences in sensorimotor responce during VR-based task performance: time-frequency analysis and functional connectivity

In the present research, we show the results of time-frequency and functional connectivity analysis of electroencephalography data recorded during VR-based sensorimotor integration experiment. We focus on the differences in visually cued motor reaction processing between two age groups of subjects. Our results provide evidence of compensatory mechanism engaged by elderly adult group of subjects for sensorimotor integration task performance. Besides, young adults demonstrate post-movement beta-rebound, which wasn’t found in older group of subjects.
