Relations between rhythmic brain processes and psychomotor tempo.
The aim of the experiments was to investigate the frequency and phase relations between the EEG and the mechanogram during tapping movements (automated rhythms). Using correlation functions it could be shown that there is a high correlation between EEG and motor rhythms. The alpha-generator is not necessarily the unique rhythmic source for automated rhythms. Other generators may also act as stable control pacemaker dependent on motivation.
