Article Abstract
Introduction: Motor Imagery based brain-computer interfaces (MI-BCIs) offer a promising avenue for controlling external devices via neural signals generated through imagined movements. Despite their potential, the performance of MI-BCIs remains highly variable across users and sessions, presenting a barrier to broader adoption.
Methods: This study explores the influence of pre-cue parietal alpha power on the quality of the event-related desynchronization (ERD) responses, a critical indicator of MI processes. Analyzing data from 102 sessions involving 77 participants.
Results: We identified a robust significant correlation between pre-cue parietal alpha power and ERD magnitude, indicating that elevated pre-cue parietal alpha power is associated with enhanced ERD responses. Additionally, we observed a significant positive relationship between pre-cue parietal alpha power and MI-BCI classification accuracy, highlighting the potential relevance of this neurophysiological metric for BCI performance.
Discussion: Our findings suggest that pre-cue parietal alpha power can serve as a potential marker for optimizing MI-BCI systems. Integrating this marker into individualized training protocols can potentially enhance MI-BCI systems' consistency, and overall accuracy.

Alpha-band activity over the parietal-occipital cortex is a canonical neural marker of visual spatial attention. However, the ongoing debate surrounds whether this activity represents as an active mechanism in gating visual information processing or if it merely reflects an epiphenomenal consequence of anticipatory attentional shifts. Despite this debate, the temporal stability of alpha activity in visual spatial attention, an essential aspect for this discussion, remains ambiguous.

Understanding and predicting the intentions of others through limb movements are vital to social interaction. The processing of biological motion is unique from the processing of motion of inanimate objects. Presently, there is controversy over whether visual consciousness of biological motion is regulated by visual attention.

The ability to rapidly adjust our actions to changes in the environment is a key function of human motor control. Previous work implicated the dorsal premotor cortex (dPMC) in the up-dating of action plans based on environmental cues. Here we used electroencephalography (EEG) to identify neural signatures of up-dating cue-action relationships in the dPMC and connected frontoparietal areas.

For 35 years, some researchers have argued that CNV resolution may affect or even produce the increased P3 for NoGo compared to Go trials, and thus that no 'inhibitory' NoGo P3 exists. This is based on the work of Simson et al. (1977b), the scalp topography of potentials in auditory and visual Go/NoGo tasks.
