Beta-band oscillations play an essential role in motor-auditory interactions.

ABSTRACT: In the human brain, self-generated auditory stimuli elicit smaller cortical responses compared to externally generated sounds. This sensory attenuation is thought to result from predictions about the sensory consequences of self-generated actions that rely on motor commands. Previous research has implicated brain oscillations in this process. However, the specific role of these oscillations in motor-auditory interactions during sensory attenuation is still unclear. In this study, we aimed at addressing this question by using magnetoencephalography (MEG). We recorded MEG in 20 healthy participants during listening to passively presented and self-generated tones. Our results show that the magnitude of sensory attenuation in bilateral auditory areas is significantly correlated with the modula
