Social Coordination Information in Dynamic Chase Modulates EEG Mu Rhythm

Abstract Understanding actions plays an impressive role in our social life. Such processing has been suggested to be reflected by EEG Mu rhythm (8–13 Hz in sensorimotor regions). However, it remains unclear whether Mu rhythm is modulated by the social nature of coordination information in interactiv...
