How different movement references influence cortical potentials related to step initiation? A comparative methods ’ assessment

Introduction: Increased activity of premotor and motor areas of the brain, well-known as movement-related cortical potentials (MRCPs), reflects the obligatory processes underlying the preparation of any voluntary movement [1]. To become apparent, MRCPs require the segmentation of the electroencephalographic (EEG) signal around a movement-related trigger [2]. Several techniques have been applied for the identification of movement initiation [3,4], mostly in fine and simple movements (e.g. finger flexion), but recently also in complex movements (e.g.
