Functional connectivity, EEG, coherence, imagery, male participantsAbstract
Objective. The objective of the study was to characterize the electroencephalographic coherence pattern during mental imagery elicitation in young men. Method. EEG activity was recorded during two conditions, Retention (RET) and Imagery (IMG). A series of ten geometric figures were presented. Participants were asked to storage the images (RET), and to create new images based on the figure (IMG). Then, coherence values were compared between conditions. Results. Increased Coherence was presented in left and right posterior-anterior regions during mental imagery, which could be related to cognitive manipulation of stimuli in creative processes.
