Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation Effects on EEG Biomarkers of Motor Vigor in Parkinson's Disease

Background: Impaired motor vigor (MV) is a critical aspect of Parkinson's disease (PD) pathophysiology. While MV is predominantly encoded in the basal ganglia, deriving (cortical) EEG measures of MV may provide valuable targets for modulation via galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS).Objective:...

For each trial, we determined the time to reach maximum force after a “Go” signal, defined MV as the inverse of this time, and used the EEG data 1-sec prior to this time for prediction.
