Sensorimotor mu-power is positively related to corticospinal excitability

Alpha (8 –14 Hz) oscillatory power is linked to cortical excitability and corresponding modulations of sensory evoked potentials and perceptual detection performance. In somatosensory cortex (S1), negative linear and inverted U-shape relationships exist, whereas its effect on the primary motor cortex (M1 ) is hardly known.
