Differential modulation of the cortical alpha rhythm and activation of distinct neural networks during tactile perception training by learners and non-learners by Kei Saito, Kei Saito, Naofumi Otsuru, Naofumi Otsuru, Kaito Tateishi, Ryuji Kurebayashi, Hideaki Onishi, Hideaki Onishi

“…Cortical alpha-band power, which is associated with sensory processing efficiency, was compared between baseline and post-training in low- and high-learning groups. Coherence analysis was also performed between EEG electrode pairs to reveal functional connectivity (FC) networks associated with low and high learning.ResultsIn the high-learner group, alpha-band power spectral density (PSD) was significantly stronger post-training at the left central-parietal electrodes. …”
