By analyzing intracerebrally recorded BP we attempted to demonstrate that the components are electrophysiological correlates of separate operations. The BPs recorded in 42 epilepsy surgery candidates (28 men, 14 women; aged from 18 to 49 years) during self-paced clenching movements of the hand opposite to the explored hemisphere were investigated in the study
Intracerebral recordings of the Bereitschaftspotential demonstrate the heterogeneity of its components
