This study was designed to relate visual perception of motion to cortical activity, by evaluation of the association of quantified electroencephalogram (qEEG) parameters with a video film projection. The EEG was recorded from 14 sites according to the International 10-20 system and a common average reference was used. Forty right-handed volunteers (mean age = 24 years) were examined. The video film consisted of 20 s sequences showing still shots and moving shots with human movements or object movements. The EEG was then subjected to spectral analysis; the spectral powers for the theta, alpha and beta bands were calculated for 14 s epochs and compared with sequences of the video film. All analyses were based on logarithmically transformed absolute spectral power values. The power values of each frequency band were analysed in a 3-way repeated measure ANOVA (Hemisphere x Electrode x Sequence). The results were represented by EEG cartography. Significant decreases in the alpha 1, beta 1 and beta 2 power values of EEG in centro-parietal regions of both hemispheres were shown during perception of human motion sequences. This suggests participation of the sensorimotor cortex during visual observation of human motion. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
