Abstract
Event-related desynchronization (ERD) of the mu rhythm (8-13 Hz) is an important indicator of motor execution, neurofeedback, and brain-computer interface in EEG. This study investigated the feasibility of an ear electroencephalography (EEG) device monitoring mu-ERD during hand grasp and release movements. The EEG data of the right hand movement and the eye opened resting condition were measured with an ear EEG device. We calculated and compared mu rhythm power and time-frequency data from 20 healthy participants during right hand movement and eye opened resting. Our results showed a significant difference of mean mu rhythm power between the eye opened rest condition and the right hand movement condition and significant suppression in the 9-12.5 Hz frequency band in the time-frequency data. These results support the utility of ear EEG in detecting motor activity-related mu-ERD. Ear EEG could be instrumental in refining rehabilitation strategies by providing in-situ assessment of motor function and tailored feedback.
