Abstract
compromising the EEG signals quality. In the second part of the thesis, the developed wireless EEG system was applied in both static and dynamic physiological contexts. Firstly, the effect of a voluntary muscular contraction on cortical processing of naturalistic proprioceptive stimulation was evaluated. Secondly, the brain-periphery coupling was investigated during walking, jogging and cross-country skiing. These studies were performed to explore the possibility to effectively monitor the processing of afferent and efferent information occurring at the level of the primary sensorimotor cortex during movements. Overall, the presented studies showed promising results to extend EEG research to wide contexts, opening new frontiers to examine the physiological and pathological human sensorimotor system during naturalistic conditions.
