Recent developments in mobile brain-body imaging (MoBI) technologies have enabled studies of human locomotion where subjects are able to move freely in more ecologically valid scenarios. In this study, MoBI was employed to describe the behavioral and neurophysiological aspects of three different commonly occurring walking conditions in healthy adults. The experimental conditions were self-paced walking, walking while conversing with a friend and lastly walking while texting with a smartphone. We hypothesized that gait performance would decrease with increased cognitive demands and that condition-specific neural activation would involve condition-specific brain areas. Gait kinematics and high density electroencephalography (EEG) were recorded whilst walking around a university campus. Conditions with dual tasks were accompanied by decreased gait performance. Walking while conversing was associated with an increase of theta (θ) and beta (β) neural power in electrodes located over left-frontal and right parietal regions, whereas walking while texting was associated with a decrease of β neural power in a cluster of electrodes over the frontal-premotor and sensorimotor cortices when compared to walking whilst conversing. In conclusion, the behavioral "signatures" of common real-life activities performed outside the laboratory environment were accompanied by differing frequency-specific neural "biomarkers". The current findings encourage the study of the neural biomarkers of disrupted gait control in neurologically impaired patients.
移动脑-体成像(MoBI)技术的最新进展使得在更符合生态效度的场景中对人类运动进行研究成为可能,在这些场景中受试者能够自由移动。在本研究中,采用MoBI来描述健康成年人三种不同常见行走状态下的行为和神经生理学方面。实验条件为自定步速行走、与朋友交谈时行走以及最后边用智能手机发短信边行走。我们假设随着认知需求增加,步态表现会下降,且特定状态的神经激活会涉及特定状态的脑区。在大学校园行走时记录步态运动学和高密度脑电图(EEG)。双任务状态下步态表现下降。与交谈时行走相比,交谈时行走与左额叶和右顶叶区域电极上的θ(θ)和β(β)神经功率增加有关,而发短信时行走与额前运动区和感觉运动区皮质上一组电极的β神经功率下降有关。总之,在实验室环境之外进行的常见现实生活活动的行为“特征”伴随着不同频率特异性的神经“生物标志物”。目前的研究结果鼓励对神经功能受损患者步态控制中断的神经生物标志物进行研究。
