EEG Activity Over Ipsilateral and Contralateral M1 During Simple and Complex Hand Tasks: Variations with Motor Learning

Published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2025

This study investigated EEG dynamics over the primary motor cortex (M1) during simple and complex unimanual hand tasks, examining how lateralization of motor cortex activity is modulated by task complexity and motor learning. The findings reveal systematic changes in ipsilateral/contralateral M1 activity that accompany skill acquisition, providing insight into neurophysiological adaptations during motor learning.
