Uncovering the role of directed connectivity in alpha and theta band activity for sustaining perception-action links.

ABSTRACT: Central to the process of efficient response selection, the integration of perception and action remains a primary focus in neuroscience. The current study sets out to examine the roles of theta, alpha and beta frequency band activity in perception-action binding processes, as well as the corresponding directed connectivity patterns between the associated neuroanatomical structures. To this end, electroencephalography (EEG) data are collected from N = 43 healthy participants performing a classic prime-probe experimental paradigm which are subsequently subjected to EEG-beamforming methods as well as Non-linear Causal Relationship Estimation by Artificial Neural Network in order to identify linear and non-linear connectivity patterns. The results highlight the integral role of the alpha freq
