Figure 1

Time-frequency wavelet plots. Wavelet analysis of the virtual channels representing the individual maximum ERD (left: maximum ERD over the left hemisphere; right: maximum ERD over the right hemisphere). Colors represent the percental change of frequency power relative to baseline (100%) as indicated in the color bar. Changes relative to the baseline interval (-0.5 – 0 sec., whereas 0 is SO) are calculated separately for each frequency. The time points used to define the time intervals of interest are marked (SO = stimulus onset). A distinct decrease of frequency power in the beta frequency range after stimulus onset and a re-increase after pneumatic stimulation stopped is found. The effect is comparable in both hemispheres.
