Abstract : Localization of neural activities from electroencephalography measurements and attributing a motor task to its neural signature is becoming a trend in neuroscience and brain computer interface research. For elucidating brain functions in healthy subjects and motor dysfunctions patients, a motor-related squeeze task, a simple daily task was employed in this study. Using low-cost electroencephalography devices in mapping human brain for understanding neural microcircuitry roles during a squeeze task as a biomarker for brain function was the objective. EEG data was recorded from eight healthy right-handed volunteers (4 female and 4 male) of different age group, performing squeeze task on a rubber ball applying graded forces. Using time and frequency domain analysis, we show frontal asymmetry attributed to activity from electrodes in AF3, AF4, F3, F4, F7 and F8 role-specific regions for identifying motor planning and motor execution characterized by predominant mu and beta oscillations.
