Abstract
Short mechanical stimulation of the fingertip was studied in 10 subjects using 34 closely spaced EEG electrodes overlying sensorimotor areas. The tactile skin stimulation device consisted of a dot matrix printer head. Each stimulus lasted 10 msec with an interstimulus interval of 4 seconds. Tactile stimulation induced beta oscillations, which were largest in the 16 to 20-Hz band, with a maximum centered within 1 second after stimulation. These beta oscillations were found over both hemispheres with a clear dominance over the contralateral hand representation area.Mesh:
