An EEG study on the somatotopic organisation of sensorimotor cortex activation during action execution and observation in infancy

Previous studies have shown that sensorimotor cortex activation is somatotopically-organised during action execution and observation in adulthood. Here we aimed to investigate the development of this phenomenon in infancy. We elicited arm and leg actions from 12-month-old infants and presented them,...
