Beta-band (15–30 Hz) corticomuscular and intermuscular coherences are important markers of the corticospinal interaction. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether amount of visual feedback during an isometric pinch grip contraction would influence these coherences in young and elderly adults. Thirty-three healthy young and elderly subjects performed pinch grip force-matching task with right thumb and index finger, while scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) from the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) and abductor pollicis brevis (APB) muscles were recorded. The amount of visual feedback was altered by manipulation of visual gain (low and high). Beta-band corticomuscular coherence was computed between EEG over the sensorimotor cortex and EMG from the FDI muscle and between EEG and EMG from the APB muscle (EEG-FDI and EEG-APB coherences). Also, beta-band intermuscular coherence was computed between EMG signals from the FDI and APB muscles (EMG-EMG coherence). Task performance was quantified as standard deviation (SD) of force and mean force error (MFE). EEG-FDI coherence was larger at high than low visual gain in the elderly but not in the young subjects, whereas there was no effect of age or visual gain on EEG-APB coherence. EMG-EMG coherence was smaller at high than low visual gain in the young and elderly subjects. The MFE was smaller at high than low visual gain in the young and elderly subjects, but the SD of force was smaller at high than low visual gain only in the young subjects. These results suggest that the effect of aging on beta-band coherence depends on the amount of visual feedback and further that visual feedback modulates beta-band corticomuscular and intermuscular coherences differently. |
