Figure Lengend Snippet: Measurement environment during the Without Mirror (top) and Mirror (bottom) conditions, muscle activity of the extensor carpi radialis, and the topographic map of the beta-band cortico-muscular coherence in patient 1 and Healthy participants. The topography for healthy participants is based on the grand average of data across all healthy participants. In the Mirror condition, both the activity of the primary agonist muscle (i.e., the ECR) and CMC increased. For the CMC data, under the Without Mirror condition, beta-band CMC in healthy participants was observed in the contralateral sensorimotor cortex relative to the target muscle. On the other hand, beta-band CMC of patient 2 in the contralateral sensorimotor cortex relative to the affected hand was not observed. However, under the Mirror condition, such beta-band CMC of Patient 1 was markedly increased in not only sensorimotor area but also the fronto-parietal area. ECR, extensor carpi radialis; CMC, cortico-muscular coherence; EEG, electroencephalography; EMG, electromyography.
