Determining the best electrode combination to detect the ERD is crucial for the success of the BCI. Considering that the EEG signals are bipolar, this involves the choice of the main and reference electrodes. So far, no strategy to guarantee signals free of the activity from the reference electrode has achieved consensus among the scientific community. Therefore, mapping the ERD in terms of the spatial distribution of the main and reference electrodes can provide additional perspectives for the BCI field. The goal of this work is to identify subject-specific channels where ERD is temporally coupled to the initiation of an upper-limb motor task. We defined a criterion to determine the presence of the ERD linked to the movement onset and searched, separately for each subject, for the single channel with the most prominent ERD. The search was conducted over all available channels composed by a pair of electrodes, and the selected signals were analyzed according to their temporal and spatial characteristics. We found that alpha- and beta-band ERD temporarily linked to movement onset can be detected in atypical channels (pairs of electrodes) across the scalp. The selected channels were different across subjects. Four ERD temporal patterns were observed in terms of the initiation instant of the ERD. These patterns revealed that the M1 cortex seems to be related to later ERDs. Moreover, they were also associated to different cortical processes related to the motor task. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time these findings are reported. Aiming at BCI development, further experiments with more subjects and with motor-imagery tasks are desirable for more robustness and applicability of these findings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/2057-1976\/ada1dc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,20]],"date-time":"2024-12-20T22:48:05Z","timestamp":1734734885000},"page":"025001","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Identification and analysis of reference-independent movement event-related desynchronization"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4360-7617","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gabriel Chaves","family":"de Melo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5927-487X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gabriela","family":"Castellano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0352-1640","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Arturo","family":"Forner-Cordero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"bpexada1dcbib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"658","DOI":"10.1006\/nimg.1999.0504","article-title":"Human movement-related potentials vs desynchronization of EEG alpha rhythm: a high-resolution EEG study","volume":"10","author":"Babiloni","year":"1999","journal-title":"NeuroImage"},{"key":"bpexada1dcbib2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"462","DOI":"10.1016\/0168-5597(85)90058-9","article-title":"A theoretical justification of the average reference in topographic evoked potential studies","volume":"62","author":"Bertrand","year":"1985","journal-title":"Electroencephalogr.
