Abstract

The effect of training competition (TC) on central nervous activation was investigated in order to examine whether motor imagination could serve as a model for complex motor skills concerning information processing and motor control. EEG was recorded before and immediately after the TC. The mean alpha frequency (MAF) was computed from the EEG power density spectra. A significant increase of MAF was found after the TC. Similar changes were found during motor imagination. Thus, motor imagination seems to be a good model to examine activation processes.
