Abstract
Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) can be used to study cortical proprioceptive processing and localize proprioceptive hand representation. Our results indicate that proprioceptive stimulation delivered simultaneously at the same frequency to fingers (D2-D4) maximizes CKC strength allowing robust and fast localization of the human hand region in the sensorimotor cortex using MEG.
