Brain-Motion Interaction Analysis Through the Study of Brainwaves

The goal of this research was to determine the brainwave patterns that characterize the movements of a hand. Measurements of the brainwaves of five students were taken using an electroencephalography sensor placed in the frontal lobe; data were collected while participants made a series of repetitive hand movements. The results proved the existence of a characteristic pattern of alpha, beta and gamma waves related to motion. Likewise, it was observed that the correlation between these waves is inversely proportional to the complexity of the movement performed, and directly proportional to the unfamiliarity towards the same and the levels of attention. Considering that, it can be concluded that the motor activity influences the detectable brain activity.
